As recorded by Jack's Mannequin (From the 2008 Album THE GLASS PASSENGER) [Intro] Bm G Em Bm G Em [Verse 1]
    Bm
She walks to the mailbox

Bm
Each morning at nine

G                                            Bm
Every day she begins, she's always one day behind

                              G    Em
At least when it comes to the mail

    Bm
She sits on the balcony paying the bills

    G                                           Bm
Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill

                      D    G
Every breath a little more pale
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                    Bm
The hill still left to climb is just so
[Chorus]
G  Em
High

         D   A
And I'm so tired

                      G
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes

    Em               D  A
The clouds are all on fire

           G  Em
It's just so high

         D   A
And I'm so tired

                      G
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes

    A                Bm   G   Bm   G  Em
The clouds are all on
[Verse 2]
   Bm
He sits in his basement

Bm
From midnight 'til four

         G
Painting pictures that nobody sees

                     Bm
From his days in the war

                          G       Em
Canvases bathed in bright red, red

   Bm
He heats up the shower

Bm
He paces the hall

      G
He'll scrub for an hour or more

                    Bm
But he won't get it all

                   F#   G
Paint in his fingernail beds
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                    Bm
The hill still left to climb is just so
[Chorus]
G  Em
High

         D   A
And I'm so tired

                      G
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes

    Em               D  A
The clouds are all on fire

           G   Em
It's just so high

         D   A
And I'm so tired

A
Come on look up at

    G
The bloodshot sky

    A                G  D
The clouds are all on
[Post-Chorus]
A         G                D
Fire, the clouds are all on

A         G              A
Fire, the clouds are all on
[Interlude] Bm G Bm A G Bm A G Bm [Bridge]
   A       G                                Bm
We wait in valleys while the clouds come in

   A      G
We see no shadows

                            A
'Cause a shadow's all there is

         Bm
And we climb (And we climb)

         A
And we climb (And we climb)
[Chorus]
               G   Em
But it's just so high

         D   A
And I'm so tired

                      G
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes

    Em               D  A
The clouds are all on fire

               Em
It's just so high

         D   A
And I'm so tired

A
Come on look up at

    G
The bloodshot sky

    A                 G  D
The clouds are all on
[Outro]
A         G                 D
Fire, the clouds are all on

A         G                                       D
Fire, the clouds are all on, the clouds are all on

A         G               D
Fire, the clouds are all on

A  G A  Bm
Fire
