A          C#7 D
Jimmy you know, everybody hates
                                   A
you when you're living off rock'n roll
           C#7     D
So you get high tonight

And Jimmy you lied
I wonder if you could ever
get yourself back here alive
So you get high tonight

Bm                               E
'Cause you don't need nobody to make it on your own
Bm                          E
You dont need nobody you'd rather be alone

Chorus:
A             C#7     D
So Jimmy gets high tonight
A              C#7     D
And Jimmy gets high tonight
A                     C#7
I must confess, I'm a real live wire
F#m7                      A
Jimmy you and me we get along a while
D           E      A
Jimmy gets high tonight

Jimmy you lied
I'm hoping that soon maybe life it don't
pass you by
So Jimmy gets high tonight
And Jimmy you know
Everybody hates you when you're
living off rock n' roll
So you get high tonight

Cause you don't need nobody to make it on your own
You don't need nobody you'd rather be alone

Chorus:
So Jimmy gets high tonight
And Jimmy gets high tonight
I must confess I'm a real live wire
Jimmy you and me will get along awhile
So Jimmy gets high tonight

Bm         A     E
I've been so confused
                                       A C#7 D
And I just hope it all gets banned to you

Chorus:
So Jimmy you get high tonight
I must confess I'm a real live wire
Jimmy you and me will get along awhile
So Jimmy gets high tonight
And I hope that you'll be alright
Jimmy gets high tonight
And I hope that you'll be alright

And Jimmy you know
Everybody hates you when you're
living off rock n' roll
So you get high
