verse 1: 
       Am7                             Bm/A 
If you see something that looks like a star, 
         Am7                    Bm/A 
And it's shooting up out of the ground. 
         Am7                          Bm/A   Am7 Bm/A                                                    
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar, 
         Am7                       Bm/A 
And you just can't escape from the sound. 
      Am7                             Bm/A 
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you, 
Am7                                 Bm/A  Am7 Bm/A 
We were children once, playing with toys. 


BRIDGE 1: 
        A                            E                     
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of, 
    G            D           C 
The low spark of high-heeled boys. 


Instrumental BRIDGE 1: 
|D7    |G   D7|G   D7| 

                                D        A7 
The percentage you're paying is too high a price, 
                           D        A7 
While you're living beyond all your means. 
                                        D     A7 
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car, 
         C/G         G            D         
From the profit he's made on your dreams. 
    C/G       G              D       C/G      G 
But today you just read that the man was shot dead, 
     C/G      G               D     C/G   G             
By a gun that didn't make any noise. 



BRIDGE 2: 
       A                      E 
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was, 
    G            D           C                   
The low spark of high-heeled boys. (High-heeled boys)

verse 3: 
       Am7                  Bm/A 
If you had just a minute to breathe, 
         Am7                   Bm/A 
And they granted you one final wish. 
          Am7                             Bm/A   Am7 Bm/A 
Would you ask for something like another chance? 
   Am7                  Bm/A 
Or something sim'lar as this? 
Am7                                   Bm/A 
Don't worry too much, it’ll happen to you, 
Am7                         Bm/A  Am7 Bm/A 
As sure as your sorrows are joys.

The low spark of high-heeled boys. 


A7                               D          A7

The low spark of high-heeled boys. (‘heeled boys) 


verse 4 
           Am7                  Bm/A 
If I gave you everything that I owned, 
    Am7                  Bm/A 
And asked for nothing in return. 
          Am7                               Bm/A  Am7 Bm/A              
Would you do the same for me as I would for you? 
   Am7           Bm/A                                   
Or take me for a ride, 
    Am7                                  Bm/A         
And strip me of everything, including my pride. 
Am7                                 Bm/A     Am7 Bm/A 
But spirit is something that no one destroys. 


BRIDGE 5: 
        A                         E       
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound, of, 
    G            D           C 
The low spark of high-heeled boys. (heeled boys)
