No Way Down by The Shins




        No Way Down






Intro (play twice)
G# C# x3
F# C#

G#                      C#
Meet the son of a Government man
G#               C#
and a pillar of salt
G#                   C#
I was born with blood on my hands and
      F#                 C#
have all signs of a bleeding heart

G#                 C#
Living high on a giant hog
G#            C#
and a mountain so steep
G#                     C#
keep your head in a hollow log as
      F#             C#
the ruling fog are about to creep

Ebm           G#
What have we done?
C#               G#           F#
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Ebm                Bbm
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         C#            G#          F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

G#                  C#
Out beyond the western squalls
G#            C#
In an alien land
G#               C#
they work for nothing at all
            F#                     C#
they don't know the mall or the lay-away plan

G#                  C#
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
G#              C#
everything you could want
G#                C#
Maybe those invisible slaves are
     F#                   C#
too far away for the ghost to


Ebm                G#
haunt, what will we charge
      C#              G#       F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
Ebm             Bbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C#                 G#          F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
      C#          G#            F#
Get used to their dust in your lungs


Instrumental Break (play twice)
C# F# x 3
G#

         Ebm     Bbm
Is there no way down
           C#             G#
from this peak to solid ground
   Ebm              Bbm
without having our gold teeth
                  G#     F#
pulled from our mouth?

G#  F# x 2
C# (stop)

G#    C#
Make me a drink
G#       C#
strong enough
G#        C#                  F#
to wash away the dishwater world
        C#
They said was lemonade

G#    C#
Walk with me
G#        C#
after the show
G#      C#          F#
Maybe we can find a way
             C#
through the minefield in the


Ebm              G#
snow, what will they charge
      C#              G#       F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
Ebm             Bbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C#                 G#          F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
  C#              G#            F#
Apologies to the sick and the young
      F#          G#            C#
Get used to their dust in your lungs
