The High Road (Broken Bells)

Chords used: Dm-C-G-Am



[Dm] [C]

[Dm]Go [C]down to wait all [Dm]night
She's [C]bound to run him [Dm]out
The [C]rest of the nothing of [G]any how
To each his [Dm]own
[Dm]The [C]garden is sorting [Dm]out
She [C]curls her lips on a [Dm]bar
I [C]don't know if you're dead or [G]not
If you're any[Dm]one

Come [C]on and get the mini[Dm]mum
Be[C]fore you open up your [Dm]eyes
It's [C]all being served in your [G]hands
Your addled [Dm]eyes
Come [C]on and get to open [Dm]yours
Col[C]lected at the border[Dm]lines
They [C]want to get up [G]in your hair

Cause [Dm]they know, [C]so do [G]I
The [Dm]high road is [C]hard to [G]find
A [Dm]detour in [C]your new [G]life
Tell [Dm]all of your [C]friends getting [G]warm

[Dm]The [C]dogs who ran all [Dm]night
The [C]son who hoped it [Dm]would
[C]Break from the warfare [G]in your house
To each his [Dm]own
The [C]soldier is bailing [Dm]out
And [C]curled his lips on a [Dm]bar
And [C]I don't know if the [G]dead can talk
To any[Dm]one

Come [C]on and get the mini[Dm]mum
[C]Before you open up your [Dm]eyes
It's [C]all being served in [G]your hands
Are you one of [Dm]us
Come [C]on and get to open [Dm]yours
Col[C]lected at the border[Dm]lines
They [C]want to get up [G]in your hair

Cause [Dm]they know, [C]so do [G]I
The [Dm]high road is [C]hard to [G]find
A [Dm]detour in [C]your new [G]life
Tell [Dm]all of your [C]friends getting [G]warm

[Dm][G][Am]
[Dm][G][Am][C]

[C]It's too late to change your [Am]mind
You [Dm]let laws be your [G]guide
[Repeat till the end, end on C]
