[Intro]
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
 
 
[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 rights
         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?
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
And all their words for 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?
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
And all their words for 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
 
 
[Bridge]
                             G              Bm
I'll take my chances on the curb here with you
           A                 F#m
We watched the planes leave us behind
        G              Bm
On the curb here with you
           A                 F#m
We watched the planes 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
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
And all their words for 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
