"Just To Get High" lyrics - NICKELBACK

He was my best friend
Well, I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips were melted to the bone

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
[Chorus]
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high-igh, -igh, -igh (High-igh, -igh, -igh)

Three days no sleeping
Well, he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing, to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife
And held it to her throat

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now

[Chorus:]
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high (High)
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid?
Show me is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high (High)
High-igh, -igh, oh

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge:]
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now

[Chorus:]
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh (High-igh, -igh, -igh)
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh
