Friends in High Places lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you've come at last, thought you left me in the past
Guess it was too much to be ignored
You changed your tune pretty fast, I've just one question to ask
Do you think I'm what you're looking for

[Pre-Chorus]
Get up and look me in the eye
I wanna see how well you lie

[Chorus]
Always act like the righteous one while I'm always on the run
Loyal until you start racing
While I'm just trying to survive, you're living in overdrive
Nice to have friends in high places
Must be nice to have friends in high places

[Verse 2]
So you'vе changed your mind after the yеars left behind
Threw me out but now you think we're friends
Save it, don't waste your breath
Your preaching bores me to death
We both know how chasing rainbows ends

[Pre-Chorus]
You were the one that shot me down
Your "loyalty" won't save me now
[Chorus]
Pushed myself to the breaking point
To have all my dreams destroyed
Gave it all up now I'm jaded
See you painting the sky rainbow
While I live in monochrome
Wish I had friends in high places

[Bridge]
You made sure that I'd fail to see
Every single lie that you fed to me
Now you wanna talk but don't push your luck
I think it's time that you shut the f*ck up
Why don't you shut the f*ck up

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The world thinks you're a light in the dark
Hope it's worth tearing me apart
How many collateral cases
Promised we could get out ahead
I was stabbed in the back instead
f*ck having friends in high places

[Outro]
f*ck you and your friends in high places
f*ck you and your friends in high places
