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? 
 
     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? 
 
     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
 
     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
