Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Dm7  G  Am  Dm
Dm7  G  Am  Dm

Verse 1:
Dm7               G
All day long they shuffle through
Am                 Dm
Sneakers, sandals, high heel shoes
Bb               F
Scraps of paper, chewing gum
Bb              A7
My work here is never done
     Dm7                G
They exit now in single file
  Am                   Dm
I sweep the floors and scrub the tiles
     Bb           F
'Til dying echoes quiet the room
    Bb               A7
And leave me leaning on my broom

Pre-Chorus:
 Gm7
Above me now, the fall of man
       E7             A7               Dm
But it all depends on where you stand
              C              G7
Is he letting go or reaching out for Adam’s hand

Chorus:
      F        A7
Look up, look up
          Dm                          G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
      F           C    Bb  Bbm F
Look up, oh, look up

Verse 2:
Dm7                  G
Four long years I’ve bent my back
Am             Dm
Painting every plaster crack
    Bb              F
The hand of god and Adam’s sin
     Bb                  A7
Rain down in brush drops thick and thin
  Dm7                 G
I ache with shame and head for home
Am                   Dm
Through the darkened streets of Rome
    Bb                  F
The night girls calling out to me
    Bb                A7
And drunkards praying on their knees

Pre-Chorus:
 Gm7
Above me now the canopy
    E7                 A7       Dm
The stars in all their majesty
                 C             G7
Remind me of the master I will never be

Chorus:
      F        A7
Look up, look up
          Dm                          G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
      F           C    Bb  Bbm F
Look up, oh, look up

Verse 3:
Dm7            G
High above the blessed and cursed
     Am               Dm
Like ants they scurry on the Earth
  Bb           F
Debauchery and daily chores
Bb             A7
Always hungry, wanting more
     Dm7                  G
I’ve sent them plague and flood and fire
Am               Dm
Tried so hard to stay inspired
    Bb                F
And somehow solve the mystery
   Bb             A7
Of what they ever saw in me

Pre-Chorus:
   Gm7
If I could only kneel before
    E7                 A7            Dm
The man who sweeps the chapel floor
                 C                   G7
Show him he’s as holy as the angels, maybe more

Chorus:
      F        A7
Look up, look up
          Dm                          G7
There are angels flying low enough to see
      F           C    Bb  Bbm F
Look up, oh, look up
