[INTRO]
[D#] [G#] [Bdim] [C]-7 [A#] [G#]

[VERSE]
Although [D#]many con[G7/B]tend
You may find [G#]hope as[Bdim]cend
To [Cm7]mark just how [D#7/A#]everything [G#]changes
Whether the [D#]temperature [G7/B]highs
Or the[G#] sea level[Bdim] rising
It's [G#]all going [A#]up but the [G#]wages

And [D#]murdered re[G7/B]porters
And [G#]talk of hard [Bdim]borders
Sky-[Cm7]bound as a [D#7/A#]heavenly [G#]choir
Or the [Cm7]stock price in [Gaug/B]Boeing
The[A#] screams of the[G7] dying
Or the [Fm7]skies over [G#]Yemen last night

[CHORUS]
It's all[D#] go[G7/B]ing up but the [G#]wag[Bdim]es
And [Cm7]maybe[D#7/A#] it's t[G#]ime
It's all[D#] go[G7/B]ing up but the [G#]wag[Bdim]es
And [Cm7]maybe[D#7/A#] it's t[G#]ime

[VERSE 2]
Don't [D#]mention the [G7/B]rent
Or th[G#]e money tha[Bdim]t's spent
K[Cm7]eeping the [A#]banks in good [G#]health
Or ri[D#]diculous [G7/B]claims
Or th[G#]e level o[Bdim]f blame
P[Cm7]ointed to [A#]anything [G#]else

And [D#]preachy [G7/B]musicians
And [G#]those stuck in [Bdim]prison
With [Cm7]scarcely [A#]enough for a [G#]blunt
Or the [Cm7]pressure of [A#]blood
That new [G#]hotel in the [Bdim]hood
With an [G#]oligarch's [Fm]name on the [D#]front

[CHORUS]
It's all[D#] go[G7/B]ing up but the [G#]wag[Bdim]es
And [Cm7]maybe[D#7/A#] it's t[G#]ime
It's all[D#] go[G7/B]ing up but the [G#]wag[Bdim]es
And [Cm7]maybe[D#7/A#] it's t[G#]ime
It's all [Cm7]going[G7/B] up with the [A#]bump in the [Bdim]heating bills
[D#]Even though the[A#] city's on [G#]fire
It's all[D#] go[G7/B]ing up but the [G#]wag[Bdim]es
And [Cm7]maybe[D#7/A#] it's t[G#]ime
