Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
DmDm
If there's a God
Do you think he's looking down, curled up on his couch right now?
As we fail to figure it out, does he turn down the sound?
Is he proud? Are we proud?
A minorAm
Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter
C majorC
Making boring people famous
Let's pretend they're fascinating
DmDm
Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
Or that pigment or religion really matters
Pre-Chorus:
G minorGm A minorAm
We're in some trouble
C majorC
Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
D MajorD DmDm
At least the bubble that we've created could make for some good TV
Chorus:
FF
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
A minorAm C majorC
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
G+G
Would you care to answer my question?
FF A minorAm
Oh, the land of poor taste
C majorC
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
G+G
Would you say, please say it was worth the
A minorAm
seven days
Verse 2:
Does he hang his head at all the greed that we possess?
C majorC D MajorD
As the anti-social media perpetuates the mess
Maybe it's a test, maybe he's upset by the loose ends
Stressed like the rest of us, it happens to the best of us
A minorAm
God, or is it Mr. G+G to me?
I hope that through the static, you’ll show us the clarity
DmDm
'Cause it's hard to find the silver lining in the bittersweet
Wonder if you're praying for us 'fore you go to sleep
G+G
Do you sleep in peace?
Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm
'Cause we're in some trouble
C majorC
Mr. Maker, but don't turn away from your screen
DmDm
At least the bubble that we've created has made for damn good TV
Chorus:
FF
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
A minorAm C majorC
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
G+G
Would you care to answer my question?
FF
Oh, the land of poor taste
A minorAm C majorC
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
G+G
Would you say, please say it was worth the
DmDm
seven days
Bridge:
FF
Don't touch the remote, we'll be back in a moment
E MajorE
We are not hopeless, we are just coping
A minorAm
The mayhem is rolling, but it ain't showbiz
FF
Reality's potent, chaotic, I know it
DmDm
But we're growing, have some hope in us
E MajorE E7E7
And were we worth all the time you gave up?
Chorus:
E MajorE
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
A minorAm C majorC
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
G+G
Would you care to answer my question?
FF
Oh, the land of poor taste
A minorAm C majorC
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
G+G
Would you say, please say it was worth the
FF
seven days

Yeah,
C majorC
oh,
G+G
oh
FF A minorAm C majorC
