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
