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