Verse 1:
      Eb MajorEb                      Eb7Eb7
That's the secret of the world he said, the one eternal lie
 G minorGm       AbAb        Eb MajorEb
Believing we are different by our own design
    Eb MajorEb                    Eb7Eb7
Once a Catholic, always Catholic, Buddhist or a Jew
     G minorGm   AbAb          Eb MajorEb
Well if you were God, they'd look the same to you

Pre-Chorus:
    Bb7Bb7
We are sitting on a bench by Notre Dame, silently watching
     Eb MajorEb
While old people feed the sparrows in the snow
      Bb7Bb7
They're so tiny yet so fearless, like confetti 'til they near us
    BbM7Bbm7   AbAb
And so I want to know

Chorus:
    Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is this heaven?
C minorCm      Bb majorBb
But we don't know it, oh
   Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is it heaven?
C minorCm   Bb majorBb
In our hearts and hands
    Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is this heaven?
C minorCm   AbAb      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
In the midst of everyday

Verse 2:
      Eb MajorEb                          Eb7Eb7
Shoot the doctors who kill babies, it's seldom white men who will fry
G minorGm     AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Is that the currency of human life?
       Eb MajorEb                       Eb7Eb7
'Midst these monuments of glory, it's always someone else's son
G minorGm        AbAb       Eb MajorEb
History taught us nothing but to come undone

Pre-Chorus:
    Bb7Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, two small lost people find each other
    Eb MajorEb
Finding comfort in what neither of us know
      Bb7Bb7
And the further on life goes, the more we see we are alone
    BbM7Bbm7   AbAb
And so I want to know

Chorus:
    Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is this heaven?
C minorCm      Bb majorBb
But we don't know it, oh
    Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is this heaven?
C minorCm   Bb majorBb
In our hearts and hands
    Gm7Gm7 AbAb
Is this heaven?
C minorCm   AbAb      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
In the midst of everyday

Bridge:
    Eb MajorEb
Do do do do do do do do do
G minorGm    AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Do do do do do do do do do do
    Eb MajorEb
Do do do do do do do do do
G minorGm    AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Do do do do do do do do do do

Outro:
    Bb7Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, the great cathedral looms behind us
    Eb MajorEb
At the same time we stand up and then we go
      Bb7Bb7
Love and war's a holy passion, bricks and blood are all we fashion
     Eb MajorEb
We don't fly but once were sparrows in the snow
Eb7Eb7
Once were sparrows in the snow
Eb MajorEb
We are just sparrows in the snow
