Intro: C, Em



C                Em
Miles above the ground below
C               Em
No particular place to go
Em         Em7
Flying higher



Stumble back home to the news at 10
Catch a thought let it go again
Flying higher


        F
It's a long way down
                            Em   G
Down's not where I want to be



     C
And if these days would never end
    Em7                          Am
If laughter was my very oldest friend
                F
Not a growing trend
                                    Em   G
Where what I have I always tend to lose
                            C  Em  F  Fm
By dancing in the devil's shoes



The clock strikes 10 at the edge of doubt
Nothing I know is my world right now
Play on, play on


And could I see my soul turn blue
Cross the sun get burnt for you
Play on play on


It's a long way home
                         Em  F  G
When home is the violet sky


                C
And there's a storm in every bottle of wine
           Em                               Am
There's a ghost that finds me every single time 
                            F
I think of the games we'll miss
                           C
The playground and the avarice


                            Em
Oh I should learn to know what to keep

What to let go
Am                                       F
Talking out loud is not a good thing to do
             Dm                      C
When you're dancing in the devil's shoes



Em, Am, F, C, Em, Am, F


       C
And I wish your face was just your face
     Em                                 Am
And not the moonlight's chosen resting place
                    F
How can the world compare? 
              Dm                     C
It's just a planet when you're not there



Come watch me hit the ground
 Em
With the most fantastic sound
 Am                  G                   F
Talking out loud is not a good thing to do
             F                      Em
When you're dancing in the devil's shoes
F                        Em   G
Dancing in the devil's shoes



C, G, Am, F, Fm
