[Verso 1]
 
Em7                                 D       G 
   Reachin' up to Heaven, buildin' Babylon towers 
                        Am7 
They got us all plugged in 
 G        C 
Souls on lockdown 

Yeah, the prison's in our hands 

Em7                          D       G 
  Rain's comin' down on the company fields 
                Am     Am7 
But even water flowin' free 
       G          C 
Can't drown that poison 

Can't wash away the greed 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
      Em     Em7 
From East to West to North to South 
D                            Am7 
We keep lookin' up when it's all goin' down

         C                  G 
At that great big American sky 
                        Em7 
She's so high and that deepest blue 
       D 
It's about this view 

    C             G 
Of this American life 
                    Em7 
It's no wonder she cries 
                    D                       C 
But hope is in her eyes with every gold sunrise 

                        G 
She's seen the greener grass 
                    Em7 
Wildfires turned to ash 
                    D 
She's covrin' our sides 

      C                 Em7   Dm G 
That great big American sky 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Em7                            D           G 
   Party politicians throwin' tickt tape shows 
                         Am7 
They're waitin' soldiers back 
                      C 
But the mouths write checks 

They're never gonna cash 

Em7                                    D         G 
  They say you need a bigger house, a brand new car 
             Am7 
Busy losin' sleep 
 G            C 
Put you on a payment plan, say you gotta just dream 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
      Em 
From East to West to North to South 
D                            Am7           A 
We keep lookin' up when it's all goin' down

[Ponte]
 
               D                          C 
New name of a hurricane, babies dyin' at school 
                        D                        Em7 
Pass out pills for the pain, hearin' hate on the news 
                      D                   C 
There's a blanket of blue just above the clouds 

And when it's all fallin', yeah, she's still watchin' out 
 G            Em7   D   D 
Yeah ah ah ah
