Mine Is Not a High Horse

The Shins


Tom: A

A          D   
After that confrontation
A           C           D      
you left me wringing my cold hands
A              D         
we shared some information
G                          D  
we might not recover from 

A              D 
and I'll watch your convictions
A         C                 D  
melt like ice cubes in an ocean
A           D                E      
you were so poorly cast as a malcontent

G               D        
You've got 'em all on your side
C                                              D                   
that just makes more for doubt to slaughter
G       D  
I never knew he thought that!
C                                  G    
I heard you say falling out of the van
              D           
Don't ask for his opinion 
C                               G                 
they ought to drown him in holy water
         D                              
Will you remember my reply              
          E
when your high horse dies            (Solo)

A              D 
We'd like to go the distance 
A         C                 D  
But not a one of us is going to you 
 A              D         
See no one is wise enough 
G                          D  
to turn the ancient boat around 

A              D
These are the muddy waters 
A         C                 D  
I am swimming in To make a living 
A           D                E      
were I to drown in them 

It should come as no surprise
