Ticker Tape chords by Laura Stevenson

Intro:
Am C F C F C x4

Verse 1:

Am     C
It's known

F              C
Alight and overgrown

      F               C
But sturdy in its haunches

Am      C       F                  C
Lines bowing forward from the shoulder

F             C
Worn and molded-over

Am     C            F               C
Check throats are there to keep the moat

      F                 C
From trembling through sills

   Am            C
And your trench foot

       F                 C        F              C
Looks like its bound to put you in the ground before your time

Chorus:

Am  C  F  C  F  C
I'm high and gone

Am  C  F  C  F  C
I'm high and gone

Verse 2:

Am      C          F                 C
Young drunks are swimming in their work

      F              C
They think it'll be worth more

Am    C           F          C
Lay prone and pedaling your word

    F         C              Am
It's next to nothing and you know

C              F           C
Your god is a sentimental one

    F           C
If ever I had known one

Am   C      F             C
And I'll be always up in arms

    F             C
On that you can rely on

Chorus:

Am  C  F  C  F  C
I'm high and gone

Am  C  F  C  F  C
I'm high and gone

Bridge:

F                                Am
Make ticker-tape from my minor vita

C              F      C
Come on and watch it fly

F                  C  Am C F C F C
Watch it 'til it's high and gone

Chorus:

Am  C  F  C  F  C
I'm high and gone

Outro:

Am                    F
Turn world it's over now

G                        F               G
Unfurl your fingers my engine's slowing down

G                                  F             C
Unhitched from fixes last year the past year's undone
