So will your pain
             G                      Am
You are gonna see those blue skies
                                 F C
Bursting right through the rain
               G      Am
The higher you climb

Now in the morning

You can cry all you want to
                                   F C
We'll spend the whole day weeping
                                                  G Am
Right now I want you to lay down your weary head

And let me see you sleeping
                                G                      Am
You've been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed
                             F
Feeling like you're one inch tall
         C G
You got
             Am
Too close to heaven
            F
That's all

Verse 3:
                                      G Am
You're way too hard on yourself baby
                                        F C
You got some pretty basic things wrong
                                       G Am
You wouldn't believe me if I told you
                          F     C
Why I wrote you into this song
                                  G                             Am
You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black
                         F
But like Icarus and like Saul
         C G
You got
             Am
Too close to heaven
            F
That's all

Now I know this hurt you're feeling
                            F    C
I've felt these same things too
               Bm                           G Am
I've got spaces way down deep inside of me
                               F C
That are just the same as you
                                               G
You wanna wrap your arms around your head, turn out the lights
                               Am F
And roll yourself into a ball
         C G
You got
             Am
Too close to heaven

That's all

Verse 5:
                           G            Am
Now are you blinded by the brilliance?
                               F C
Are you dazzled by the light?
                           G                  Am
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
You got
             Am
Too close to heaven
            F
That's all
