[Cmaj9] [G/A] [F#m7] [B7] [Em7]

[F#m7] [Gmaj7] [A] [Gmaj7/A]

[VERSE 1]

[Dmaj9]So much for your [A/B]moment of [Cmaj9]prayer, [G/A]God's not at [F#m7]home
[B7]There is no[Cmaj9] there, there
Lost in the s[A/B]tars,
[B7]That's what you [Em7]are, left here[F#m7] on [Gmaj7] your [G/A]own
[Dmaj9]You can only hope to l[A/B]ive on this [Cmaj9]earth, [G/A]this here is[F#m7] it,
[B7]For all it's [Cmaj9]worth
[G/A]Nothing else aw[A/B]aits you, [B7]no second [Em7]birth,
No [F#m7]star - [Gmaj7]ry c[G/A]rown
[F#7/A#]Oh, [Bm]for an unbe[F#7/A#]liever like [D/A]you,
There's not [E7/G#]much they can [Gmaj7]do that would [F#m7]turn you [Bm]away
Though I hate to [F#7/A#]see you surr[D/A]ender,
you [E7/G#]need to sur[Gmaj7]render, we must [F#m7]find you a [A/B]way [B7]to

[CHORUS]

[Em7] Look up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your li[A]fe, [A/B]
[Em9] Up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your l[A]ife, [A/B]
[Em9] Look on up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your l[A]ife,[A/B]
[Em9] Look up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your li[A]fe [G/A]

[VERSE 2]
[Dmaj9]There's a river running [A/B]under your f[Cmaj9]eet,
[G/A]Under this h[F#m7]ouse,
[B7]Under this s[Cmaj9]treet
Straight from the h[A/B]eart,
[B7]Ancient and [Em7]sweet, on its[F#m7] way [Gmaj7]back h[G/A]ome
Eve[F#7/A#]n in the mi[Bm]ddle of[F#7/A#] your sadnes[D/A]s,
The everyday ma[F#7/A#]dness, the ong[D/A]oing game

Even[E7/G#] when you can't find a[Gmaj7] reason,
Still there is a reason, you [F#m7]don't need to n[A/B]ame [B7]it

[CHORUS]

Come on up [Em7] Look up f[F#m7]rom y[Gmaj7]our lif[A]e, [A/B]
[Em9] Up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your l[A]ife, [A/B]
[Em9] Look on up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your l[A]ife,[A/B]
[Em9] Look up [F#m7]from [Gmaj7]your li[A]fe [G/A]

[VERSE 3]
Oh, [Cmaj9]even for a mi[A/B]nute to fi[F#m7]nd yourself i[B7]n it,
to w[Cmaj9]ait by the st[A/B]ream to dr[F#m7]op out of you[B7]r dream

[CHORUS]

Come on up [Em7] Look up f[F#m7]rom y[Gmaj7]our lif[A]e, [A/B]
