High Rise

  E             Bm           C# D
Flat block of two dimensions
 D                       E
Neon totem pole to the sky
          F#m              C#
Keeping scores of people stacked up 
so high

[Verse 2]
  E
Above the ground
              Bm
All they can hear is the sound
C#   D  E
Of the wind in the antennae
        F#m          C#
It's a human zoo, a suicide machine

[Verse 3]
  E           Bm                   
Childhood of concrete, cube-shaped
C#  D

    D                        E
A flypaper stuck with human life

 F#m             C#
Caged up rage, swarming all the time

[Verse 4]
 E
Tear out the telephones
                       Bm
Rip up the pages of directories
                    C# D
And wreck all these
 D                       E
High speed lifts and elevators
      F#m               C#
Be a sabotage rebel without a cause

[Chorus]
 E
High rise (living in a high rise)
 Bm                              
High rise (living in a high rise)
C# D

 D        E
High rise
      F#m            C#
All stacked up in a high rise block

[Verse 5]
  E          Bm               C# D
Starfish of human blood shape
 D                    E
Tentacles of human gore
   F#m                             
Spread out on the pavement from the
 C#
 99th floor

[Verse 6]
      E
Well somebody said he jumped
         Bm
But we know he was pushed
 C# D   D                        E
He was just like you might have been
       F#m              C#
On the 99th floor of a suicide 
machine
