Look (G)up, I look up at night.

Climb (G)up, ings up in the trees.

Ev or chance that you get is a chance lit seize.

How (G)long

I’ll (G)start be fore I can stop,

be fore I see things the right zl way up.

All that noise

All those plac es I got found.

And (F)birds go fly ing at the (Am7)speed of sound to (C)show you how it all be gan.

Birds came fly ing from the (Am7)un der ground.

If you could (Em)see it, then you’d un der stand.

Ah, when you (Em)see it, then you’ll un der stand.

All those signs,

Some things you (D7)can’t in vent.

Some get made

If you could (Em)see it, then you’d un der stand.

Ah, when you (Em)see it then you’ll un der stand.
