You got some pretty basic things wrong
                    G Am
You wouldn't believe me if I told you

Why I wrote you into this song

You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black

Too close to heaven

Too close to heaven

Now are you blinded by the brilliance?

Are you dazzled by the light?

Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your cold beaten eyes
            F C
That once were bright
                G  Am
I know you just can't help but run
                   F
When you hear that sweet voice call
    C G

Too close to heaven
