Matt Nathanson Sky High Honey Lyrics

(All Fs should be barred)
There's a chord in the chorus that I don't know the name of, but I know it's right. I'm
calling it F/C, and it's fingered like this:
The low E string 1 is optional, and played by the thumb. It's basically a C chord with a
bar over the G and B strings.
Also, in the chorus, there is a C (walkdown). If you listen to the song the guitar
mimics the melody in the "sky high honey" part, which you can do by playing a C chord and
then going:
Alternatively, if you want it to sound bigger, you can go:
Sky high honey, gone.
OK, on to the music.
INTRO: C, Csus4
VERSE:
I bet you're laughing at some joke he told you
With his arm around your sunburnt shoulders
I spent the morning with my face against the windowseat
Looking down at all the things that got the best of me
CHORUS:
No more late night drives to Boston
F C (walkdown)
No more Cure songs to get lost in
No more taxis, subway tokens
F C (walkdown) C
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone.
VERSE 2 (same chords)
I take the streetcars around San Francisco
Get winks from the pretty boys down in the Castro
Through the turnstiles roll the Jappy (?) girls, the shabby dolls
I can't resist myself, I get their names, I never call.
No more late night drives to Boston
F C (walkdown)
No more Cure songs to get lost in
No more taxis, subway tokens
F C (walkdown) Em
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone.
C (walkdown) Em
I'm sky high honey, gone.
BRIDGE:
You wait too long, you never leave
And it feels like dying, but still your heart beats
Em, F, C walkdown
CHORUS 3 (quieter)
No more late night drives to Boston
F C (walkdown)
No more Cure songs to get lost in
No more taxis, subway tokens
F C (walkdown) Em
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone.
C (walkdown) C
I'm sky high honey, gone.
OUTRO: same as Intro
