Intro:
|(B minorBm)(D/C#)|(D MajorD)(D/F#D/F#)|(G+G) |(G+G) | x 2

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

Chorus:
  BbmBbm  B minorBm            A augmentedA
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
     G+G       G/F#         E minorEm A augmentedA
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
BbmBbm  B minorBm             A augmentedA
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
     G+G          G/F#     E minorEm
But I can go to the other side with a smile
    F#F#   G+G   A augmentedA
'Cause I knew heaven for a while

(B minorBm)(D/C#)|(D MajorD)(D/F#D/F#)|(G+G) |(G+G)

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

Chorus:
  BbmBbm  B minorBm            A augmentedA
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
     G+G       G/F#         E minorEm A augmentedA
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
BbmBbm  B minorBm             A augmentedA
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
     G+G          G/F#     E minorEm
But I can go to the other side with a smile
    F#F#   G+G   A augmentedA
'Cause I knew heaven for a while

Bridge:
  FF   C majorC     Eb MajorEb   D MajorD
The world turns and seasons change
  E minorEm       D/F#D/F#        G+G A augmentedA
And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea
FF   C majorC    Eb MajorEb   D MajorD
Tears dry and hearts heal
  E minorEm        D/F#D/F#      A augmentedA
And what is meant to be will always be ---

Chorus:
  BbmBbm  B minorBm            A augmentedA
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
     G+G       G/F#         E minorEm A augmentedA
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
BbmBbm  B minorBm             A augmentedA
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
     G+G          G/F#     E minorEm E MajorE
But I can go to the other side with a smile
    F#F#   G+G   A augmentedA
'Cause I knew heaven
