(Capo on 1)

Intro.:  |(Bm)(D/C#)|(D)(D/F#)|(G)  |(G)  | x 2

You know, (D)someone told me once that (A)angels don't exist
And that (C)paradise was just a poor man's (G) dream (A)
(D)Without hesitation, I can (A)say he was mistaken
'Cause I've (C)wrapped my arms around celestial (G)wings
(G/F#)But for (Em)reasons we don't (D/F#)know, some aren't (G)meant to be here long (G/F#)
And (Em)then one day the (D/F#)good Lord calls them home (A)

(Chorus)
Now (Bbm)I may (Bm)never find peace or ful-(A)fill some destiny
I may be (G)cursed just to (G/F#)walk this earth alone (Em) (A)
(Bbm)And I (Bm)never will erase the memory (A)of her gentle face
But I can (G)go to the other side (G/F#) with a smile (Em)
'Cause (F#)I knew (G)heaven (A) for a while

Inst.:  |(Bm)(D/C#)|(D)(D/F#)|(G)  |(G)

The other (D)day I took a drive to that (A)place up on the hill
I brought (C)flowers and I laid them on the stone (G) (A)
And I (D)sat there for some time with this (A)runnin' through my mind
How (C)much we take for granted till it's gone (G)
(G/F#)Then I (Em)got back in my (D/F#)car and I (G)slowly drove away (G/F#)
(Em) Knowing she was (D/F#)in a better place (A)

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
The (F)world (C)turns and (Eb)seasons (D)change
And (Em)rivers keep on (D/F#)runnin' to the sea (G) (A)
(F)Tears (C)dry and (Eb)hearts (D)heal
And (Em)what is meant to (D/F#)be will always (A) be ---

(Chorus)
Now (Bbm)I may (Bm)never find peace or ful-(A)fill some destiny
I may be (G)cursed just to (G/F#)walk this earth alone (Em) (A)
(Bbm)And I (Bm)never will erase the memory (A)of her gentle face
But I can (G)go to the other side (G/F#) with a smile (Em) (E)
'Cause (F#)I knew (G)heaven (A)

(Tag)
I knew (Bm)heaven, (A/F#) (Em) (E)I knew (G)heaven (A) for a while
