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
[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

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]

[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
