On The Porch

F                 C
Listen... they're singing
        Dm             Am
At the echoey sky
    F                G
The sound's coming up hard
           Am
On all the skyscraper's sides
     F         G
It's coming up hard
       Am
On the senators' ties
               Dm
But they don't listen to us,
           F
they don't even look up...

F                  C
They're husters and hawkers
      Dm             Am
All talkin at you
F              G
Spinning their lies
        Am
On your grandmother's loom
F                    G
Proclaiming, in good faith,
       Am
What's not even true
            Dm
And they're not even good,
       F
We can see through that look

F
F                  E
Cause we're looking up
        F       C
For the ladder above,
        F              E
For the right hand held up,
        E7     F
For the golden cup
                         C
Or just a bottle of suds,
                    E7
A spot on the porch,
                  C
The kids having fun
                  E7
And looking at us
                     C
They're looking at us,
                 Dm     Am
So we're looking up

F             C
Baby... When I met you
      Dm              Am
I was basically blind.
F            G
Swallowing poison,
    Am
And pixels of light
F         G
Living on fiction,
     Am
And swimming in lies
           Dm
I tried to cast you aside,
          F
Like some dirt in my eye...

F
F                  E
But now I'm looking up
        F         C
For the ladder above,
        F              E
For the right hand held up,
        E7     F
For the golden cup
                         C
Or just a bottle of suds,
                       E7
And a spot on the porch,
                            C
And soon the kids are in love
                         E7
And they're looking at us
                     C
They're looking at us,
                 E
So we're looking up...
        F        C
For the ladder above,
        F                 E
For the crack there in the dome,
          E7               F
Where the golden dam will overflow
                         C
Or just a bottle of suds,
                       E7
And a spot on the porch,
            F               C
So when the kids make it home
                         E7
And they're looking at us,
             F            C
When they're looking at us,
              Dm    Am
We're looking up
