Upside Looking Down


|Abadd9      |Dbadd9        |Abadd9      |Dbadd9      |



          Abadd9            Dbadd9       Abadd9      Ebsus2
Well, you came on like some blazing supernova


       Abadd9                Dbadd9         Ebsus4
With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky


         Bbm9             Dbadd9               Bbm11   Dbadd9
Then you woke up and your long white night was over

        Bbm11                 Db                Abadd9  Ab/Eb Eb
And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by


           Abadd9             Dbadd9            Abadd9    Ebsus2
So now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows


        Abadd9          Dbadd9           Ebsus4   Eb
Dealing dirty while you steal the higher ground


        Bbm9            Dbadd9        Bbm9          Dbadd9
But you cheated and you lied and life took you for a ride


           Bbm9            Dbadd9         Abadd9   Ebsus4  Eb7
Now you're standing on the upside looking down


    Db          Cm7addF
And O, the hero in disguise


                  Db
Believing his own alibis


    Eb7sus4  Eb7          Edim      Db/F
You run so scared, you're standing still


                  Db
I know you are, I know you will


       Abadd9           Dbadd9            Abadd9   Eb7
Be the first to call it quits and run for cover



           Abadd9          Dbadd9         Ebsus4
While your little world is crumbling all around


        Bbm11             Db              Bbm9         Db
But you punked out on yourself, you can't blame nobody else


                    Bbm9            Db             Abadd9   Ebsus4 Eb7
And now that you're standing on the upside looking down


|Fadd9          |Bbadd9         |Fmaj7          |C          |




|Fadd9          |Bbadd9         |Csus4          |C           |




|Gm7            |Bbadd9         |F               |Bbadd9     |



|Gm7            |Bbadd9         |F               |     C      |



    Db               Cm7addF
And O, the heartache of the thief


                      Db
Strung out on his own stash of grief


  Eb7sus4  Eb7    Edim      Db/F
A line for you, a flake for me


                     Db
But now it's ancient history


       Abadd9         Dbadd9              Abadd9    Eb7
As the sky is turning black and glassing over


       Abadd9        Dbadd9              Ebsus4
As you drift so high above the lights of town


       Bbm9             Dbadd9         Bbm9            Dbadd9
All at once it seems so clear, you can see it all from here


            Bbm9            Dbadd9         Abadd9   Eb7
When you're standing on the upside looking down



|Abadd9      |Dbadd9        |Abadd9      |Dbadd9      |


|Abadd9      |Dbadd9        |Abadd9      |Dbadd9      |
