Tom: Am
F C
Listen... they're singing
Dm Am
At the echoey sky
F G
The sound's coming up hard
Am
On all the skyscraper's sides
F G
It's coming up hard
Am
On the senators' ties
Dm
But they don't listen to us,
F
they don't even look up...
[Verse 2]
F C
They're husters and hawkers
Dm Am
All talkin at you
F G
Spinning their lies
Am
On your grandmother's loom
F G
Proclaiming, in good faith,
Am
What's not even true
Dm
And they're not even good,
F
We can see through that look
[Chorus]
F
F E
Cause we're looking up
F C
For the ladder above,
F E
For the right hand held up,
E7 F
For the golden cup
C
Or just a bottle of suds,
E7
A spot on the porch,
C
The kids having fun
E7
And looking at us
C
They're looking at us,
Dm Am
So we're looking up
[Verse 3]
F C
Baby... When I met you
Dm Am
I was basically blind.
F G
Swallowing poison,
Am
And pixels of light
F G
Living on fiction,
Am
And swimming in lies
Dm
I tried to cast you aside,
F
Like some dirt in my eye...
[Chourus]
F
F E
But now I'm looking up
F C
For the ladder above,
F E
For the right hand held up,
E7 F
For the golden cup
C
Or just a bottle of suds,
E7
And a spot on the porch,
C
And soon the kids are in love
E7
And they're looking at us
C
They're looking at us,
E
So we're looking up...
F C
For the ladder above,
F E
For the crack there in the dome,
E7 F
Where the golden dam will overflow
C
Or just a bottle of suds,
E7
And a spot on the porch,
F C
So when the kids make it home
E7
And they're looking at us,
F C
When they're looking at us,
Dm Am
We're looking up
