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