Back in the high life again


Good Morning Chemo 13:

It’s 0545 and I’m sitting here with the best of coffee I think I ever brewed. Ever have that experience? It’s pretty rare.

MY original schedule was for to begin round five of chemo tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure that’s not happening unless some blood count miracle occurred this weekend. But I feel pretty good.

I had my ITunes on shuffle this weekend and I stumbled on the Steve Winwood song “Back In The High Life Again” I hadn't heard it in years and I thought it made a perfect cancer theme for us. I’ve copied it below for you guys. I also have the guitar chords for the players among us.

Today I am running by the doctor’s office to get some blood drawn and then we’ll go from there. I have some overdue books at the cancer library I have to return. I hope they don’t make me pay a fine in platelets. And my big deal is I have to fight with my health insurance about referrals and other assorted stupid stuff.

 Pretty mundane stuff I think. more to follow.

Capo III

D G  D A 2x

   D               G          D               A
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast,
      D              G              D                   A
and I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
    D                   G           D                 A
But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down,
   D                     G                   D              A
so don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town

        D           A          D
I'll be back in the high life again,
G               D                     A        D
all the doors I closed one time, will open up again
        D           A          D
I'll be back in the high life again,
G                 D                     A                 D
all the eyes that watched me once, will smile and take me in

         G                    D
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free;
A                  D            G            D
let the world back into me, and oh I'll be a sight to see;
            Asus4 A     D
back in the high  life again

D G  D A 2x

    D              G       D                    A
You used to be the best to make life be life to me,
      D                      G                    D                A
and I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be
      D                G              D                      A
We'll have ourselves a time and we'll dance till the morning sun,
          D                  G              D                     A
and we'll let the good times come in and we won't stop till we're done

         D           A          D
We'll be back in the high life again,
G               D                     A        D
all the doors I closed one time, will open up again
         D           A          D
We'll be back in the high life again,
G                 D                     A                 D
all the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in

          G                    D
And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free;
A                     D           G             D
and have the world so easily, and oh we’ll be a sight to see;
            Asus4 A    
back in the high  life

         D           A          D
We'll be back in the high life again,
G               D                    A        D
all the doors I closed one time will open up again
         D           A          D
We'll be back in the high life again,
G                 D                     A                 D
all the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in

            Asus4 A    
back in the high  life
