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