Intro: A G#m C#m (2x)
 


Verse: 
            A                                 G#m               C#m 
I'm on a high, I'm on a high there's nothing more to it 
                 A                                   G#m                              C#m 
We are the sea and the sky and the blue that runs through it, yeah 
                    A                                 G#m                 C#m 
And there are some who say there are so many things I need 
         A                     G#m                   C#m 
So I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed, I bleed, I bleed 


                B 
Well, it's a lie, it's a lie don't you believe it 
            F#m 
If you're fine, then you're fine it's all how you see it 
        A                           E 
Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. 


Verse: 
            A                                 G#m             C#m 
I'm on a high, I'm on a high and there's nothing more to it 
               A                G#m           C#m 
I have the sun, it's a star why should I refuse it 
               A                  G#m              C#m 
And there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down 
                        A                 G#m               C#m 
There's not enough money or time and my love you're not around, around, around 

                B 
t's a lie it's a lie don't you believe it 
            F#m 
If you're fine then you're fine, it's all how you see it 
        A                           E 
Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. 
            B 
You're alive you're alive, how else could you hear me? 
            F#m 
You are fine, you are fine, there's nothing worth fearing 
        A                           E 
No, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness 


Bridge: 
            D 
I'm on a high on a high 
          E 
We are the sea and the sky 
            F#m 
I'm on a high, on a high 
            G#m     A 
I'm on a high 

       B 
It's a lie, It's a lie, don't you believe it 
                F#m 
'Cause I've tried and I've tried, and I can't really see it 
              A                               E 
Yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness 
        B 
Said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it 
          F#m 
And I lied, and I lied and I wish you hadn't seen it 
             A                       E 
Now I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness 

B   F#m   A   E 
(A bunch of ohh's. Repeat twice) 

Outro: 
            A                              F#m 
I'm on a high, on a high, there's nothing more to it, yeah 
(Then top it off with a sweet C#m7)
