The High Road
View chords used in this chart
[Intro: ]
Dm, C (repeat)
Dm C Dm
Go down to wait all night
C Dm
She's bound to run him out
C G
The rest of the nothing of any how
Dm
To each his own
Dm C Dm
The garden is sorting out
C Dm
She curls her lips on a bar
C G
I don't know if you're dead or not
Dm
If you're anyone
C Dm
Come on and get the minimum
C Dm
Before you open up your eyes
C G
It's all being served in your hands
Dm
Your addled eyes
C Dm
Come on and get to open yours
C Dm
Collected at the borderlines
C G
They want to get up in your hair
Dm C
Cause they know, so do I
Dm C
The high road is hard to find
Dm C
A detour in your new life
Dm C
Tell all of your friends getting warm
Dm C Dm
The dogs who ran all night
C Dm
The son who hoped it would
C G
Break from the warfare in your house
Dm
To each his own
C Dm
The soldier is bailing out
C Dm
And curled his lips on a bar
C G
And I don't know if the dead can talk
Dm
To anyone
C Dm
Come on and get the minimum
C Dm
Before you open up your eyes
C G
It's all being served in your hands
Dm
Are you one of us
C Dm
Come on and get to open yours
C Dm
Collected at the borderlines
C G
They want to get up in your hair
Dm C
Cause they know, so do I
Dm C
The high road is hard to find
Dm C
A detour in your new life
Dm C
Tell all of your friends getting warm
C Am
It's too late to change your mind
Dm G
You let laws be your guide
