Some of the specific chords were a little hard to decipher from the live recordings but I tried my best, also it's very likely that some of the areas where the progression seems to differ from before were just live mistakes, won't really know until the official version comes out.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
D# G# Bdim C-7 A# G#
 
 
[Verse]
         D#      G7/B
Although many contend
             G#     Bdim
You may find hope ascend
   Cm7           D#7/A#     G#
To mark just how everything changes
            D#          G7/B
Whether the temperature highs
      G#        Bdim
Or the sea level rising
     G#        A#         G#
It's all going up but the wages
 
    D#         G7/B
And murdered reporters
    G#           Bdim
And talk of hard borders
    Cm7        D#7/A#   G#
Sky-bound as a heavenly choir
       Cm7            Gaug/B
Or the stock price in Boeing
   A#             G7
The screams of the dying
       Fm7        G#
Or the skies over Yemen last night
 
 
[Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D#          G7/B
Don't mention the rent
     G#         Bdim
Or the money that's spent
 Cm7        A#            G#
Keeping the banks in good health
     D#       G7/B
Or ridiculous claims
     G#       Bdim
Or the level of blame
 Cm7       A#       G#
Pointed to anything else
 
    D#      G7/B
And preachy musicians
    G#             Bdim
And those stuck in prison
     Cm7      A#           G#
With scarcely enough for a blunt
       Cm7         A#
Or the pressure of blood
         G#           Bdim
That new hotel in the hood
        G#         Fm          D#
With an oligarch's name on the front
 
 
[Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
         Cm7  G7/B         A#          Bdim
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
D#             A#         G#
Even though the city's on fire
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
 
 
[Bridge]
Fm/C A#/D G#/D#
 
N.C.
Higher and higher and higher
 
Fm A#/F G#
 
N.C.
Higher and higher and higher
 
Bdim D#7 G#

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher
 
 
[Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
         Cm7  G7/B         A#          Bdim
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
D#             A#         G#
Even though the city's on fire
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages
    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
