[Intro 1]
[Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm]
[Dm][Em][Dm][Em]

[Verse 1]
If you [Dm]see something
that looks like a [Em]star
And it's [Dm]shooting up out of the [Em]ground
And [Dm]your head is spinning [Em]from a loud guitar
[Dm][Em]
And you [Dm]just can't escape
from the [Em]sound
Don't [Dm]worry too much, it'll happen [Em]to you
[Dm]We were children o[Em]nce,
playing with [Dm]toys[Em]
And the [D]thing that you're hearing
is [A]only the sound of
The [C]low spark of [G]high-heeled [F]boys

[Chorus 1]
[D][G][D]
[D][G][D]
The per[D]centage you're paying
is [G]too high- [D]priced
While you're [D]living beyond all your [G]means[D]
And the [D]man in the suit
has just [G]bought a [D]new car
From the [F]profit he's made on your [G]dreams
But to[F]day you just read
that the [G]man was shot dead
By a [F]gun that didn't make any [G]noise
But it [D]wasn't the bullet that [A]laid him to rest was
The [C]low spark of [G]high-heeled [F]boys

[Interlude 1]

[Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm]
[Dm][Em][Dm][Em]

[Verse 2]
If [Dm]you had just a minute to [Em]breathe
and they [Dm]granted you one final [Em]wish
Would [Dm]you ask for something,
[Em]like another [Dm]chance?[Em]
Or [Dm]something similar as [Em]this?
Don't [Dm]worry too much it'll happen [Em]to you
[Dm]As sure as your sorr[Em]ows are joys
[Dm][Em]
And the [D]thing that disturbs
you is [A]only the sound of
The [C]low spark of [G]high-heeled [F]boys

[Chorus 2]
[D][G][D]
[D][G][D]
The per[D]centage you're paying
is [G]too high- [D]priced
While you're [D]living beyond all your [G]means[D]
And the [D]man in the suit
has just [G]bought a [D]new car
From the [C]profit he's made on your [G]dreams
But to[C]day you just read
that the [G]man was shot dead
By a [C]gun that didn't make any [G]noise
But it [D]wasn't the bullet that [A]laid him to rest was
The [C]low spark of [G]high-heeled [F]boys,

[Verse 3]
If I [Dm]gave you everything that I [Em]owned
and [Dm]asked for nothing in [Em]return
Would you [Dm]do the same for me
[Em]as I would for y[Dm]ou?[Em]
[Dm]Or take me for a r[Em]ide
and [Dm]strip me of everything including [Em]my pride
[Dm]But spirit is something
[Em]that no one des[Dm]troys[Em]
And the [D]sound that I'm hearing
is [A]only the sound
Of the [C]low spark of [G]high-heeled [F]boys, heeled
