Leaving Heaven
Matthew West and Vince Gill

INTRO:  D A G, D A G

D           A      G
Well, it's been real nice living way up here
       D              A    G
In paradise, over the atmosphere
                 Bm                  Em
But I can't stay long, gotta make my way
            G     A     D                  D A G, D A G
I'm leaving Hea - ven today

                     D           A       G
You see the world is dark and it needs a light
                 D           A       G
I'm gonna hang a star in the eastern sky
                     Bm                 Em
So everybody's gonna know where I touch down
            G     A         D
I'm leaving Hea - ven right now

          G     D          A      D
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth
        G        D          A
Trading in these streets of gold
          G    D      A               D
So if you ever wonder how much you're worth
           Em
You should know
     G          D      G       A       D       D A G, D A G
That you're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven

                  D                    A     G
Ain't gonna be no kingdom, ain't gonna be no crown
                  D            A          G
Just a little old manger, in a little old town
                  Bm                   Em
But it'll do just fine for this humble King
            G          A              D
I'm leaving Heaven let all the angels sing

          G     D          A      D
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth
        G        D          A
Trading in these streets of gold
           G   D      A               D
So if you ever wonder how much you're worth
           Em
You should know
G          D      G       A       D             D A G, D A G
You're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven

            D          A     G
And when my time comes to an end
                 D           A      G
I'll lay down my life like a truest friend
                    Bm                        Em
And when I get back home, I'm gonna make some room
              G                 A               D
So, don't you worry, 'cause I'm coming back for you

             G       D           A      D
And you will say goodbye to that broken Earth
             G       D          A
You're gonna walk on streets of gold
           G    D      A               D
And if you ever wonder what my love is worth
                Em
Well you should know
     G       D      G         A      D
That I'm the reason you'll be seeing Heaven
    G          D      G       A       D        D A G
Oh, you're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven
            D         A G, D A G D
I'm leaving Heaven
