Upper Middle Class

   C            G        Am      
We paid for new ways to avoid one
    F
 another
   C     G               Am       
A tv that fills up one side of the 
 F
room
   C            G           Am   
We stare at our phones now 
           F
(instead of each other)
    C       G           Am   
And silently wonder just how to 
        F
break through


[Chorus]

       G                 C5
To the other side of the silence
       G                 G7       
Where distance is only a story we 
C
tell
        G              E          
When we hold hands and know that 
  Am
we made it
      C         G             (F)
We’re making it still… can we 
            Am
please make it still?

[Verse 2]

     C          G            
Our house is on fire; I’ve got 
  Am          F
matches for fingers
       C        G            Am  
And my gasoline tongue isn’t 
       F
helping at all
   C        G        Am          
So try as I might to repair what 
     F
I’ve broken
  C        G            Am       
I only set fire to each bridge 
     F
that I build


[Chorus]

       G                 C5
To the other side of the silence
      G                  G7       
Where distance is only a story we 
C
tell
        G              E          
When we hold hands and know that 
  Am
we made it
      C         G              F 
We’re making it still… can we 
            Am
please make it still?


[Bridge]

C5           G               F  
Someday, the words will come 
    C5
easy again
     C5            G              
I’ll stop all this hiding, you’ll 
F           C5
let me back in
     C5          G              F
Our family’s not here; we don’t 
          C5         G
have to pretend it’s okay


[Verse 3]

C          G          Am        
I’m in the back yard destroying 
    F
the branches
     C          G            Am  
That hang low enough for my golf 
        F
club to reach
     C            G             
Destruction’s the one thing I’m 
Am        F
naturally good at
   C              G          
It might take all year for the 
   Am       F
leaves to return
