Chords

[Intro] D# G# Bdim C-7 A# G# [Verse]
         D#      G7/B
Although many contend

             G#     Bdim
You may find hope ascend

   Cm7           D#7/A#     G#
To mark just how everything changes

            D#          G7/B
Whether the temperature highs

      G#        Bdim
Or the sea level rising

     G#        A#         G#
It's all going up but the wages

    D#         G7/B
And murdered reporters

    G#           Bdim
And talk of hard borders

    Cm7        D#7/A#   G#
Sky-bound as a heavenly choir

       Cm7            Gaug/B
Or the stock price in Boeing

   A#             G7
The screams of the dying

       Fm7        G#
Or the skies over Yemen last night
[Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time

        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
[Verse 2]
      D#          G7/B
Don't mention the rent

     G#         Bdim
Or the money that's spent

 Cm7        A#            G#
Keeping the banks in good health

     D#       G7/B
Or ridiculous claims

     G#       Bdim
Or the level of blame

 Cm7       A#       G#
Pointed to anything else

    D#      G7/B
And preachy musicians

    G#             Bdim
And those stuck in prison

     Cm7      A#           G#
With scarcely enough for a blunt

       Cm7         A#
Or the pressure of blood

         G#           Bdim
That new hotel in the hood

        G#         Fm          D#
With an oligarch's name on the front
[Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time

        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time

         Cm7  G7/B         A#          Bdim
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills

D#             A#         G#
Even though the city's on fire

        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
[Bridge] Fm/C A#/D G#/D# N.C. Higher and higher and higher Fm A#/F G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher Bdim D#7 G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher Cm D# G# Fm/C A#/D G#/D# N.C. Higher and higher and higher Fm A#/F G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher Bdim D#7 G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher [Chorus]
        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time

        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time

         Cm7  G7/B         A#          Bdim
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills

D#             A#         G#
Even though the city's on fire

        D# G7/B           G# Bdim
It's all going up but the wages

    Cm7  D#7/A# G#
And maybe it's time
[Outro] D# G7/B G# Bdim Cm7 D#7/A# G#
