Intro:
Dm7Dm7 G+G A minorAm DmDm
Dm7Dm7 G+G A minorAm DmDm

Verse 1:
Dm7Dm7        G+G
All day long they shuffle through
A minorAm         DmDm
Sneakers, sandals, high heel shoes
Bb majorBb        FF
Scraps of paper, chewing gum
Bb majorBb       A7A7
My work here is never done
   Dm7Dm7        G+G
They exit now in single file
 A minorAm          DmDm
I sweep the floors and scrub the tiles
   Bb majorBb      FF
'Til dying echoes quiet the room
  Bb majorBb        A7A7
And leave me leaning on my broom

Pre-Chorus:
 Gm7Gm7
Above me now, the fall of man
    E7E7       A7A7        DmDm
But it all depends on where you stand
       C majorC       G7G7
Is he letting go or reaching out for Adam’s hand

Chorus:
   FF    A7A7
Look up, look up
     DmDm             G7G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
   FF      C majorC  Bb majorBb BbmBbm FF
Look up, oh, look up

Verse 2:
Dm7Dm7         G+G
Four long years I’ve bent my back
A minorAm       DmDm
Painting every plaster crack
  Bb majorBb       FF
The hand of god and Adam’s sin
   Bb majorBb         A7A7
Rain down in brush drops thick and thin
 Dm7Dm7         G+G
I ache with shame and head for home
A minorAm          DmDm
Through the darkened streets of Rome
  Bb majorBb         FF
The night girls calling out to me
  Bb majorBb        A7A7
And drunkards praying on their knees

Pre-Chorus:
 Gm7Gm7
Above me now the canopy
  E7E7         A7A7    DmDm
The stars in all their majesty
         C majorC       G7G7
Remind me of the master I will never be

Chorus:
   FF    A7A7
Look up, look up
     DmDm             G7G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
   FF      C majorC  Bb majorBb BbmBbm FF
Look up, oh, look up

Verse 3:
Dm7Dm7      G+G
High above the blessed and cursed
   A minorAm        DmDm
Like ants they scurry on the Earth
 Bb majorBb      FF
Debauchery and daily chores
Bb majorBb       A7A7
Always hungry, wanting more
   Dm7Dm7         G+G
I’ve sent them plague and flood and fire
A minorAm        DmDm
Tried so hard to stay inspired
  Bb majorBb        FF
And somehow solve the mystery
  Bb majorBb       A7A7
Of what they ever saw in me

Pre-Chorus:
  Gm7Gm7
If I could only kneel before
  E7E7         A7A7      DmDm
The man who sweeps the chapel floor
         C majorC          G7G7
Show him he’s as holy as the angels, maybe more

Chorus:
   FF    A7A7
Look up, look up
     DmDm             G7G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
   FF      C majorC  Bb majorBb BbmBbm FF
Look up, oh, look up
