[Intro]
Em7[RepeF#m7/Eat: x4]
[Verse 1]
If you Em7see something that looks like a F#m7/Estar
And it's Em7shooting up out of the F#m7/Eground
And your Em7head is spinning, F#m7/Efrom a loud guitar Em7 F#m7/E
And you Em7just can't escape from the F#m7/Esound
Don't Em7worry too much, it'll happen to F#m7/Eyou
We were Em7children once, F#m7/E playing with toys Em7 F#m7/E
[Chorus 1]
And the Ething that you're hearing is Bonly the sound of
The Dlow spark of Ahigh-heeled Gboys
[Bridge]
E7 A E7 E7 A E7
The per - E7centage you're paying is Atoo high E7priced
While you're E7living beyond all your Ameans E7
And the E7man in the suit has just Abought a new E7car
From the Gprofit he's Dmade on your Adreams
But toGday you just Dread that the Aman was Asus4shot dead A
By a Ggun that didn't Dmake any Anoise Asus4 A
[Chorus 2]
But it Ewasn't the bullet that Blaid him to rest, was
The Dlow spark of Ahigh-heeled Gboys...
[Instrumental Verse]
Em7[RepeF#m7/Eat: x4]
[Verse 2]
If you Em7had just a minute to F#m7/Ebreathe
And they Em7granted you one final F#m7/Ewish
Would you Em7ask for some – thing, F#m7/Elike another chance? Em7 F#m7/E
Or Em7some - thing similar as F#m7/Ethis?
Em7Don't worry too much; it'll happen to F#m7/Eyou
Em7 As sure as your sorrows are F#m7/Ejoys Em7 F#m7/E
[Chorus 3]
And the Ething that disturbs you is Bonly the sound of
The Dlow spark of Ahigh-heeled Gboys
[Bridge]
E7 A E7 E7 A E7
The per - E7centage you're paying is Atoo high E7priced
While you're E7living beyond all your Ameans E7
And the E7man in the suit has just Abought a new E7car
From the Gprofit he's Dmade on your Adreams
But toGday you just Dread that the Aman was Asus4shot dead A
By a Ggun that didn't Dmake any Anoise Asus4 A
[Chorus 2]
But it Ewasn't the bullet that Blaid him to rest, was
The Dlow spark of Ahigh-heeled Gboys... high-heeled boys...

Em7[RepeF#m7/Eat: x10]
[Verse 3]
If I Em7gave you every - thing that I F#m7/Eowned
And Em7asked for noth – ing in F#m7/Ereturn
Would you Em7do the same for me as I would for F#m7/Eyou? Em7 F#m7/E
Or Em7take me for a F#m7/Eride
And Em7strip me of everything including my F#m7/Epride
Em7But spirit is something that no one F#m7/Edestroys Em7 F#m7/E
[Chorus 4]
And the Esound that I'm hearing is Bonly the sound of
The Dlow spark of Ahigh-heeled Gboys... heeled boys
