             Em           B G            A
The sky is a neighborhood,   so keep it down
C                Em      A
The heart is a storybook, a star burned out
             Em           B G               A
The sky is a neighborhood,    don’t make a sound
C             Em         A
Lights coming up ahead, don’t look now

             Em          B G A
The sky is a neighborhood
              C           Em A
The sky is a neighborhood,  don’t look now

Chorus:
Em           B                    G                  A
Oh my dear, heaven is a big bang now, gotta get to sleep somehow
 C                       Em                      A          G
Bangin’ on the ceiling, bangin’ on the ceiling, keep it down
Em           B                    G                  A
Oh my dear, heaven is a big bang now, gotta get to sleep somehow
 C                       Em                      A
Bangin’ on the ceiling, bangin’ on the ceiling, keep it down

Mind is a battlefield, all hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left, whose side you’re on?
Thoughts like a minefield, I’m a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step, don’t get lost

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood, don’t get lost

Chorus

The sky is a neighborhood

The heart is a storybook, a star burned out
Someone coming up ahead, don’t look now

Chorus:
Oh, my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling, bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
Oh, my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Bangin' on the ceiling, bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down
(The sky is a neighborhood)
Oh, my dear, Heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
(The sky is a neighborhood)
Bangin' on the ceiling, bangin' on the ceiling
Keep it down

The sky is a neighborhood
