Intro:

G  Bm  D  A
          
G  Bm  D  A
          

Verse:
              G        Bm  D
Welcome to the Badlands    
                A                    G    Bm  D
Where the sky expands and you and I expire    
             A                  G
Just like sparks flying off some firecracker
      Bm           D        A
In the big disaster we call home
                    G   Bm
Where God could be a dog
                A
Barking in the dark
Verse:
              G                      Bm
And if it goes pitch black, would you come back?
         D          A
Would you follow my name
                       G         Bm
Through wild fields of lavender 
                        D                 A   F#m  G  Bm
In this life, we're just passengers just passing   by.

Chorus:
             D       A                       G   Bm
Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky
             D       A                  G       Bm
Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by.
                      D       A                     G   Bm
And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first.
             D        F#
Heaven is a place on earth
Verse:
              G       Bm  D
Welcome to the Midwest    
                    A
Where the sky knows best
                  G             Bm
And you'll finally get some rest
        D                  A            G  Bm  D  A  G  Bm  D  A
Till the tornado sirens start harmonizing                      

[Interlude]
    G   Bm   D               A
And I can't  tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in—
G  Bm     D              A
I can't  tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in—
G  Bm     D             A
I can't  tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in—
G  Bm     D             A                      G        Bm  D
I can't  tell if I'm in Heaven or if I'm in the Badlands    

Pre-Chorus:
                 A                   G    Bm  D
Where the sky expands and you and I expire    
           A                    G           Bm
Just like sparks flying off some firecracker
                   D        A    G  Bm
In the big disaster we call home.

Chorus:
            D         A                      G   Bm
Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky
            D         A                 G       Bm
Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by.
                      D         A                   G   Bm
And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first.
             D          A         G  Bm
Heaven is a place on earth, on earth.
              D         A         G  Bm
Heaven is a place on earth, on earth.

Outro:
              D         A   G
Heaven is a place on earth
