  			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 youâ??re standing on the upside looking down 


    Db          F7sus4/C 
And O, the hero in disguise 


                  Db 
Believing his own alibis 


    Eb7sus4  Eb7          Edim      Db/F 
You run so scared, youâ??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 canâ??t blame nobody else 


                    Bbm9            Db             Abadd9   Ebsus4 Eb7 
And now that youâ??re standing on the upside looking down 


|Fadd9          |Bbadd9         |Fmaj7          |C          | 




|Fadd9          |Bbadd9         |Csus4          |C           | 




|Gm7            |Bbadd9         |F               |Bbadd9     | 



|Gm7            |Bbadd9         |F               |     C      | 



    Db               F7sus4/C      
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 itâ??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 youâ??re standing on the upside looking down 



|Abadd9      |Dbadd9        |Abadd9      |Dbadd9      | 


|Abadd9      |Dbadd9        |Abadd9      |Dbadd9      |
