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