The Shins No Way Down Lyrics

Listen to the song for rhythm, should be right. If the verse work sounds off, it's
probably due to the lead guitar, took me a little while to work out exactly what the chords
were. Pretty much just worked this out too over the last half hour, think it's right.
Hope it helps!
Intro (play twice)
G# C# x3
Meet the son of a Government man
and a pillar of salt
I was born with blood on my hands and
have all signs of a bleeding heart
Living high in a giant hog
and a mountain so steep
keep your head in a hollow log as
the ruling fog are abound to creep
What have we done?
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
where a tiny few catch all of the rays
Out beyond the western squalls
In an alien land
they work for nothing at all
they don't know the mall of the layaway plan
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
everything you could want
Maybe those invisible slaves are
too far away for the ghost to
haunt, what do we charge
for letting go of a claim so large?
Oh, all of our working days are done
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
Get used to the dust in your lungs
Instrumental Break (play twice)
C# F# x 3
Is there no way down
from this peak to solid ground
without having our gold teeth
pulled from our mouth?
G# F# x 2
C# (stop)
Make me a drink
strong enough
to wash away with dishwater world
They said was lemonade
Walk with me
after the show
Maybe we can find a way
through the mine field in the
snow, what do we charge
for letting go of a claim so large?
Oh, all of our working days are done
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
Apologies to the sick and the young
Get used to the dust in your lungs
