Intro

Verse 1

 I candy-coat and cover everything

 but I'm still hiding underneath

 It's been a long time

It's been a long time

 A thousand faces looking up at me

 hands all pointing to the ceiling

Oh, what a feeling

Refrain 1

 I've got friends in highly low places

 I'm standing on post and I'm posted up

Can't afford to lose them

 I've got friends in highly low places

 I'll go inside when I wanna party

(hold)

grab a girl and dance(Don't touch me)

Chorus 1

Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh

 Why do I put myself

in these situations?

Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh

 I keep pushing

myself even though

I can't take it at all

Interlude

G--D

Verse 2

Girl who taught you

how to move like that

 At this pace you're at

you're going way too fast

I, I saw you from

across the room

 It's me vs every guy

It's your choice you choose

Refrain 2

 I've got friends in

highly low places

It's been a long time

it's been a long time

 And maybe baby you can rise

above the rest to meet me

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

Interlude

G--D

Bridge

You're worth losing

my self-esteem

 Your clever words mean

 nothing more to me

than a line I

heard in a movie

You're worth

losing my losing my

losing my self esteem

You're not worth

putting myself in

these situations
