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