🎸 Intro:

Gm  C  Gm  C

🎸 Verse 1:
       Gm                               C
If you see something that looks like a star,
Gm                                C
  And it's shooting up out of the ground.
         Gm                C                  Gm   C
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar,
         Gm                         C
And you just can't escape from the sound.
      Gm                     C
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you,
Gm                  C                   Gm     C
  We were children once, playing with toys.

🎸 Chorus 1:
        G                             D
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound,
    F                            C      C
Of The low spark of high-heeled boys.

🎸 Verse 2:
    Gm                               C
The percentage you're paying is too high a price,
      Gm                             C
While you're living beyond all your means.
        Gm                        C
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car,
         Gm                        C
From the profit he's made on your dreams.
      Gm                      C
But today you just read that the man was shot dead,
     Gm                        C       C
By a gun that didn't make any noise.


🎸 Chorus 2:
       G                       D
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest,
        F                         C
Was The low spark of high-heeled boys.


🎸 Bridge:
Gm   C   Gm   C

🎸 Verse 3:
   Gm                        C
If you had just a minute to breathe,
         Gm                     C
And they granted you one final wish.
Gm           C                  Gm                    C
  Would you ask for something like another chance?
   Gm             C
Or something similar as this,
    Gm                       C
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you.
Gm               C            Gm     C
As sure as your sorrows are joys.

🎸 Chorus 3:
        G                          D
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound,
    F                         C
Of The low spark of high-heeled boys.

🎸 Verse 4:
    Gm                               C
The percentage you're paying is too high a price,
             Gm                      C
While you're living beyond all your means.
        Gm                        C
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car,
         Gm                        C
From the profit he's made on your dreams.
      Gm                      C
But today you just read that the man was shot dead,
     Gm                        C        C
By a gun that didn't make any noise.

But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest,
        F                         C
Was The low spark of high-heeled boys.

🎸 Verse 5:
    Gm              C
If I gave you everything that I owned,
Gm                          C
And asked for nothing in return.
      Gm                   C                  Gm     C
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
   Gm             C
Or take me for a ride.
    Gm                      C
And strip me of everything including my pride
    Gm                   C               Gm     C
But spirit is something that no one destroys


🎸 Chorus 5:
        G                          D
And the thing that I'm hearing is only the sound
       F                     C          Gm                 C
Of the Low spark of high heeled boys, high-heeled boys.
