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 Drake Pink Moon seeing the Pines 
         D                                                  Em
In the pacific north west for the first time. I cannot believe my eyes. 
         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 look on up
           D
Up 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                                     C
Have you ever tried to photograph the moon?
            C
Well I have too
       D
I have too



Thanks to jbgarza for his correction in the bridge! I couldn't for the life of me make out what he was singing there.

Great band, great song, couldn't wait for someone else to try and post it.
