A#sus4   A#maj7         D#
It's not you, it's the glow of
the party The way that you've got me
A#sus4 A#maj7
lit up inside
         D#
It's the song that they're playin',
the words that you're sayin'
Dm
It's never felt so right

    Gm
And I'm the kind of person who starts
getting kinda nervous
         D#                    D#/F
When I'm having the time of my life

Chorus:
A#                      Dm                     D#
Is there a word for the way that I'm feeling tonight
                      A#
Happy and sad at the same time
             Dm                      D#
You got me smiling with tears in my eyes
I never felt so high
Gm                           Cm
No, I've never been this far off of the ground
Gm                                F            A# D#
And they say everything that goes up must come down
                        A#  D#
But I don't wanna come down

So is there a way to stop all this thinkin',
just keep on drinkin'?
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
When they're turnin' the lights on and
it turns out the joke's on me
'Cause it feels so right

And I'm the kind of person who starts
getting kinda nervous
When I'm having the time of my life

Chorus:
Is there a word for the way that
I'm feeling tonight?
Happy and sad at the same time
You got me smilin' with tears in my eyes
I never felt so high
No, I've never been this far off of the ground
And they say everything that goes up must come down
But I don't wanna come down

  G#                         D#
I don't mind at all, no, I'm used to fallin'
    Fsus4                         F
I'm comfortable when the sky is gray
         G#                     D#
But when everything is perfect, I start hidin'
         Gsus4                        G
'Cause I know that rain is comin' my way, my
 C Em F
way

Chorus:
'Cause I'm happy and sad at the same time
You got me smilin' with tears in my eyes
I never felt so high
No, never been this far off of the ground
And they say everything that goes up,
goes up must come down
And I don't wanna come down
No, I don't wanna come down
