Intro: Am Em G 

verse 1 

Am          Em 
We hit the blue fields 
        G 
In the blue sedan we didn't get much further 
Am                    Em 
Just as the sun was rising in the mist 
         G 
We were all alone we didn't need much more 
Am 
So fast this expedition 
Em 
So vast this heavy load 
        G 
With a touch of luck and a sense of need 
Am          Em 
Seeing the guns and their faces 
     G 
We looked around the open shore 
D 
Waiting for something 


Am     Em          G 
Shoot high, break low 
Am     Em        G 
Aim high, shoot low 
Am     Em       G 
Break high, let go 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 


verse 2 
                    Em 
This was to be our last ride 
          G 
With the steel guitar and the love you give me 
Am                      Em 
Underneath the skin a feeling, a breakdown 
          G 
While we sat for hours on the crimson sand 
Am                           C 
Exchanges in the currency of humans bought and sold 
        G 
And the leaders seem to lose control 
Am 
Shall we lose ourselves for a reason 
G 
Shall we burn ourselves for the answer 
C 
Have we found the place that we're looking for? 
D 
Someone shouted "Open the door!" Look out! 


Am     Em          G 
Shoot high, break low 
Am     Em        G 
Aim high, shoot low 
Am     Em       G 
Break high, let go 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 


Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 
Am              C 
Nothing you can say 
G            D 
Takes me by surprise 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 

Am 
Who says there's got to be a reason 
Em 
Who says there's got to be an answer 
         G 
We were all alone we didn't need much more 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 
G 
The sun's so hard on this endless highway 

Am     Em    G 
Shoot high, let go 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low 


Am             C            G 
I've heard the singers who sing of love 
Am     Em    G 
Shoot high, let go 
       G 
In the blue sedan we never got much further 
Am     Em        G 
Shoot high, aim low
