Intro
C#m A E B
C#m A E B
[Verse 1]
C#m A
Deep in a corner of the night
E B
We were lying in the middle of the road
C#m A
Counting the planes as they flew by
E B
Inconceivable imagining them go
C#m A
And drunk we set the world to rights
E B
As we fell and hit our heads upon the curb
C#m A
You make me laugh until I die
E B
Can you think of any better way to choke?
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m B E
Stories told to me and stories told to you
A C#m B E
And did you ever feel like they were ringing true?
[Chorus]
A
And all their words for glory
B C#m
Well they all, they sounded empty
B E
When we're looking up for heaven
B
Looking up for heaven
A B
Way down here upon the ground
C#m
When we're lying in the dirt
B E
There's no looking up for heaven
B
Looking up for heaven
C#m A E B
[Verse 2]
C#m A
Not everything had gone to plan
E B
But we made the best of what we had, you know
C#m A
Passing the drink from hand to hand
E B
We admit we really know nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m B E
Stories told to me and stories told to you
A C#m B E
And was it feeling real, and were they ringing true?
[Chorus]
A
And all their words for glory
B C#m
Well they all, they sounded empty
B E
When we're looking up for heaven
B
Looking up for heaven
A B
Way down here upon the ground
C#m
When we're lying in the dirt
B E
There's no looking up for heaven
B
Looking up for heaven
C#m
[Bridge]
A C#m
I'll take my chances on the curb here with you
B G#m
We watched the planes leave us behind
A C#m
On the curb here with you
B G#m
We watched the planes leave us behind
A B
And...and then you put your hand in mine
C#m B
And pulled me back from things divine
E B
Stop looking up for heaven, waiting to be buried
[Chorus]
A
And all their words for glory
B C#m
Well they all, they sounded empty
B E
When we're looking up for heaven
B
Looking up for heaven
A B
Way down here upon the ground
C#m
When we're lying in the dirt
B E
There's no looking up for heaven
B
Looking up
