Penthouse in heaven

C                 Bb                           C
Jesus won't drive nothing but a shiny white Mercedes
    Bb                   F                          C
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand oldsmobiles
    G           F               Eb              D
The virgin Mary loses faith and starts a chain-reaction
    Ab                     Eb      Bb                  C
The Lord just stands there weepin' bitter tears in the rain

Almost if the bad guys got the good guys on the run
Bb                 F                                   C
All in the line of expectation in the eyes of the evil one
       G                           F         Eb                 D
Like a mad bull chargin' through a closet of porcelain 'made in China'
Ab              Eb             Bb                 C
Saddlin' up the righteous with nightmares full of trauma!

Moving on down to hell!

Bridge:
Eb
There's no one here
D
There's nothing left
Db                     C
No one here to kiss or bless
Eb                        D
This damp and dark unholy mess
Db                         C
You could say: Paradise in Distress!

C
The sun just can't stop waiting
   Bb
To put a shine on a clear blue sky
            F             C
And kill the pessimist in me

Meanwhile

There's no one here
D
There's nothing left

This damp and dark unholy mess
Db                            C
