G                     D
I got too high on the couch last Sunday

She said it was fine
           C                   Em                    G
You worked hard all week and deserve you a little time
                  D                         G
And this one, she don't want money, but she wants the stars
     C                    Em                        G
So tonight I'm takin' her out and we're gettin' ours

Intro and Verse Chord Progression:
The song opens with a series of chords that set a relaxed, contemplative mood.
The progression of D, G, C, D, Em, G in the intro gently introduces the song's
thematic and musical setting. When playing these chords, focus on the transition
smoothness to maintain the song's flowing nature.

For the verses, the chord progression G, D, G, C, Em, G captures the storytelling
essence of the song. Each chord should be played with a sense of anticipation,
leading into the next, mirroring the narrative's unfolding. Pay attention to the lyrical
content as you play, allowing the chords to support the storytelling.

Chorus and Emotional High Points:
The chorus shifts the energy with chords F, C, G, D, introducing a sense of upliftment
and hope. The mention of "high beams" metaphorically signifies moments of clarity
or revelation, which is supported by the brightness of the F and C chords.
The transition back to G and D underscores the song's reflective nature.

During the chorus, emphasize the dynamic changes to reflect the emotional high points
of the song. The lyrics "I've got your favorite song mixed in with the high beams"
suggest a blend of personal connection and outward exploration, a theme that should
resonate in your strumming pattern and intensity.

Bridge and Outro - Reflective Moments:
The bridge revisits the chord progression from the verse but with a more introspective
approach. This section, marked by the return to the initial storytelling setting, calls for
a softer, more reflective playing style. The outro, with its progression
G, F, C, G, F, Em, G, serves as a gentle conclusion, bringing the listener back
to a state of calmness and reflection.

Playing Techniques and Tips:
- Strumming Pattern: The song lends itself to a versatile strumming pattern that can
range from gentle, flowing strums in the verses to more pronounced, rhythmic strums
in the chorus and emotional peaks. Experiment with dynamics to match
the song's mood.
- Transitioning Between Chords: Practice smooth transitions between chords,
especially where the progression shifts rapidly, such as in the chorus. Clean
transitions will keep the song's momentum and emotional impact intact.
- Emotional Expression: Beyond the technical aspects, playing "High Beams"
is about conveying the song's emotional landscape. Let the chords breathe
and resonate with the lyrics, creating a cohesive musical expression.
