From the 2007 album ?High?
(Am C)x8
Verse 1:
GEm
Down beneath the swoosh of the turbines,
FEm
The long grass it blows in ripples,
GEm
There?s a beautiful spiral of roads,
F
That lead the lost up here.
GEm
I was watching the birds taking off,
FEm
To swoop down over the city,
GEm
They find and take just what they need,
F
And turn, turn, turn.
Chorus:
AmC
The movers move, the shakers shake,
AmC
The winners write their history,
AmC
But from high on the high hills
AmC
It all looks like nothing.
AmC
The movers move, the shakers shake,
AmC
The winners write their history,
AmC
But from high on the high hills
AmC
It all looks like nothing.
Verse 2:
GEm
That afternoon on the hustler gate,
FEm
With all the TVs flickering,
GEm
While behind the sky was moving,
F
Liquid crimson gold.
GEm
Brothers, sisters, pay no heed
FEm
To the unfaithful messengers,
GEm
For theirs is a prison world,
F
Of lies, lies, lies.
Chorus
Bridge:
D
The keening wind,
F
It blows though me, it blows through me.
D
My time it must,
F
Be almost done, be almost done.
(Am C)x4
Outro:
AmC
All these things you fear so much
AmC
Depend on angles of vision.
AmC
Down in the maze of walls,
AmC
You can?t see what?s coming,
AmC
But from high on the high hills
AmC
It all looks like nothing,
AmC
From high on the high hills

It all looks like nothing, nothing.
