Capo 4
Intro: Bm G D A (2x)
verse 1
Bm G
Deep in a corner of the night
D A
We were lying in the middle of the road
Bm G
Counting the planes as they flew by
D A
Inconceivable imagining them go
Bm G
And drunk we set the world to rise
D A
As we fell and hit our heads upon the curb
Bm G
You make me laugh until I die
D A
Can you think of any better way to choke?
Pre-Chorus
G Bm A D
Stories told to me and stories told to you
G Bm A D
And did you ever feel like they were ringing true?
[Refrão] G
And all their words were glory
A Bm
Well they all, they sounded empty
A D
When we're looking up for heaven
A
Looking up for heaven
G A
Way down here upon the ground
Bm
When we're lying in the dirt
A D
There's no looking up for heaven
A
Looking up for heaven
Bm G D A
verse 2
Bm G
Not everything had gone to plan
D A
But we made the best of what we had, you know
Bm G
Passing the drink from hand to hand
D A
We admit we really know nothing at all
Pre-Chorus
G Bm A D
Stories told to me and stories told to you
G Bm A D
And was it feeling real, and were they ringing true?
[Refrão] G
And all their words were glory
A Bm
Well they all, they sounded empty
A D
When we're looking up for heaven
A
Looking up for heaven
G A
Way down here upon the ground
Bm
When we're lying in the dirt
A D
There's no looking up for heaven
A
Looking up for heaven

Bridge
G Bm
I'll take my chances on the curb here with you
A F#m
We watched the plans leave us behind
G Bm
On the curb here with you
A F#m
We watched the plans leave us behind
G A
And...and then you put your hand in mine
Bm A
And pulled me back from things divine
D A
Stop looking up for heaven, waiting to be buried
[Refrão] G
And all their words were glory
A Bm
Well they all, they sounded empty
A D
When we're looking up for heaven
A
Looking up for heaven
G A
Way down here upon the ground
Bm
When we're lying in the dirt

There's no looking up for heaven

Looking up
