A
I've been wondering,
E                              F#m D
Waiting for something to give;
A
I won't be a heroine -
         E                                F#m D
I'm just looking for something to live by
A
And there are lesions in the soil
E                                   F#m      D
And there pockets of pain where the shadows lie,
A
And there are voices in the ocean,
E              F#m            D     E
And thereis something in the sky

[Chorus]
D               E
A mother should say,
D               E
A father should say,
A   D       E
You   look up,
A D         E
    Look down,
A D E                            A   D  E
         Keep your ear to the ground
                                 A   D  E
         Keep your ear to the ground

[verse]
A
It's washing over me
E                        F#m D
It's spinning under me
A
And am I looking up at angels
E                              F#m           D
Or am I really looking up at clouds passing by?
A
And when I say I'm listening
E                 F#m               D     E
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?

[Chorus]
D               E
A mother should say,
D               E
A father should say,
A   D       E
You   look up,
A D         E
    Look down,
A D E                            A   D  E
         Keep your ear to the ground
                                 A   D  E
         Keep your ear to the ground
