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