Look On Up
Relient K
Written by Matt Thiessen, Adam Young, and Emily Wright (I think)
Capo 4
Key of B
G C
I remember when a photograph was worth
Em
A thousand words
D
A thousand words
G C
Now a thousand pictures come my way, every day
Em D C D
and I like them all the same but they can't take my breath away
G C
I'm fighting the temptation not to look
Em D C D
But I'm still leafing through the pages like the world's my open book
G C
Why don't I got something else to do?
Em D Em D
Feeling trapped behind the viewfinder to share it all with you
C
But that's not what it's about
Em D
I'm so tired of missing out
C
I look on up
D
To the sky
Em G
I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes
C
I look on up
D
To your eyes
Em G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
C
I look on up
D
I look on up
G
To the sky

G Em
Have you ever tried to photograph the moon?
C
Well I have too
D
Yeah I have too
G Em
Find it funny how it never turns out right
Em D C D
It's like someone poked a pinhole in the canvas of the night
C
And that's not what it's about
G D
I'm so tired of missing out
C
I look on up
D
To the sky
Em G
I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes
C
I look on up
D
To your eyes
Em G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
C
I look on up
D
I look on up
G
To the sky
C
Cause it's a nick drip pink moon in the sea of the pines
D Em
With the Pacfic-Northwest for the first time running by the leamy trees
D
Yeah I'm singing out loud in the middle of the night
Em G C
On the balcony in Brisbane looking up into the sky
D
Into the sky
C G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life

I got stuck, so if anyone can post corrections, please post them! The Bridge I
couldn't understand what he was saying completely, and I'm having trouble figuring
out the chord progression. Like does he say "Between beauty in my eyes" or
"Between beauty and my eyes"?
Great band, great song, couldn't wait for someone else to try and post it.
