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