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