Intro:
Dm7 Em7/D
Verse 1:
Dm7 Em7/D
If you see something that looks like a star
Dm7 Em7/D
And it's shooting up out of the ground
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
Dm7 Em7/D
And you just can't escape from the sound
Dm7 Em7/D
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D
We were children once playing with toys
Pre-Chorus:
D A
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
C G F
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
(Verse 2)
Dm7 Em7/D
If I gave you everything that I owned
Dm7 Em7/D
And asked for nothing in return
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D
Would you do the same for me as I would for you
Dm7 Em7/D
Or take me for a ride
Dm7 Em7/D
And strip me of everything including my pride
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D
But spirit is something that no one destroys
Pre-Chorus:
D A
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
C G F
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
Chorus:
D7 G/D D5
The percentage you're paying is too high a price
D7 G/D D5
While you're living beyond all your means
D7 G/D D5
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
F/C C G
From the profit he's made on your dreams
F/C C G
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
F/C C G
By a gun that didn't make any noise
D A
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
C G F
Was the low spark of high heeled boys

Verse 3:
Dm7 Em7/D
If you had just a minute to breathe
Dm7 Em7/D
And they granted you one final wish
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em/D
Would you ask for something like another chance
Dm7 Em7/D
Or something similar as this
Dm7 Em7/D
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
Dm7 Em7/D Dm7 Em7/D
As sure as your sorrows are joys
Pre-Chorus:
D A
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
C G F
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
Chorus:
D7 G/D D5
The percentage you're paying is too high a price
D7 G/D D5
While you're living beyond all your means
D7 G/D D5
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
F/C C G
From the profit he's made on your dreams
F/C C G
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
F/C C G
By a gun that didn't make any noise

But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
