[Intro]
G    F    C    G

[Verse 1]
G
You can't catch a bird
F
While it's flying in the air
C
No, you gotta wait
G
Till it comes to the ground
G
And you can't stop a saint
F
While they're in full flight
C
No, the devil's gotta wait
G    D
Till we come down

[Chorus]
Em7
So I'll stay high
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no reason,
D           Am7
I'll be reading my word
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no satan,
D             Am7
I'll be praying to my Lord
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no sinning,
D             Am
While I'm living for my God
C                 G
I ain't coming down for nobody,
D              Em7
no I'll just stay high

[Post-Chorus]
C  G   D  Em7  C  G  D
High,  high,   high
C
So watch me fly
G   D  Em7  C  G  D
Fly,   fly,    fly

[Verse 2]
G
Say we've all got targets
F
On our back
C
'Cos all heaven and hell
G
Knows our worth
G
So I'm standing guard,
F
Cos life's coming hard
C                      G
Soon as we walk out of church

[Chorus]
Em7
So I'll stay high
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no reason,
D           Am7
I'll be reading my word
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no satan,
D             Am7
I'll be praying to my Lord
C                  G
I ain't coming down for no sinning,
D             Am
While I'm living for my God
C                 G
I ain't coming down for nobody,
D              Em7
no I'll just stay high

G    D
(just stay high)
