[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
I wonder if you hear what I'm sayin'
F#m
I wonder if you recognize it's me
A
My heart believes there's parts that haven't faded
F#m
That somewhere in there's the you, you used to be
D
It hurts like hell to lose ya slow
E
But I keep holding on to hope
[Chorus]
A
Cause we're all just one heartbeat from heaven
F#m
But I pray you're many from your last
D E A
And I'm clinging to the memories you don't have
A
You can't see the tears that I keep hiding
F#m
If I said I wasn't broken I'd be lyin'
D E
Watching you go, now I know
A
There's worse things than dyin'
[Verse 2]
A
I remember when you told me where you're going
F#m
So why am I afraid to say goodbye
A
Your faith was strong enough to keep me growing
F#m
When my world was just too dark to see the light
D
You had enough to get me through
E
Now it's my turn to carry you
[Chorus]
A
Cause we're all just one heartbeat from heaven
F#m
But I pray you're many from your last
D E A
And I'm clinging to the memories you don't have
A
You can't see the tears that I keep hiding
F#m
If I said I wasn't broken I'd be lyin'
D E
Watching you go, now I know
A
There's worse things than dyin'
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
Like livin' knowin' that your angel soul is halfway home
Bm E
Like holding hands and tellin' you it's okay to let go
[Outro]
A
You'll get your wings and soon you'll be out flyin'
F#m
If I said I wasn't broken I'd be lyin'
D E
Watching you go, now I know
A
There's worse things than dyin'
A
There's worse things than dyin'
