Capo 2

Em F

I lost my faith when I was young

Am Em

I clenched my fist to bite my tongue

Em F

I leave awake from all the things that I had done

Am Em

Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on

C

Then I said wait

B7 Em

Are our bodies really piles of dirt?

G

And is the soul just a metaphor?

C B7

I keep my eyes from looking too far up

G Em

I fear that there is a heaven above

Cm - C7

Am - Bm7

Em F

I stood in lines to bow my head

Am

I'd fold my hands and speak in tongues

Em

To whisper worries to the dead

Em F

But I could tell no apparition heard a single word I said

Am Em

But I'd still call my voice in to the air

C

Then I said wait

B7 Em

Is my body really part of the earth

G C

And is there blood running through my veins?

B7

I'll know when I turn to dust

G Em

But I fear the answer isn't enough

C B7 Em

So, will I ever know heaven or hell?

G

Or is eternity something worse?

C B7

I keep my eyes from looking too far up

G Em

I fear that there is a heaven above (heaven above, heaven above)

Cm - C7

Am - Bm7

Cm C7

I want to give it up

Cm C7

I want to give it up

Cm C7

I want to give it up

Am B7

But I just need it too much

C

Wait

B7 Em

Is my body really part of the earth

G C

And is there blood running through my veins?

B7

I'll know when I turn to dust

G Em

But I fear the answer isn't enough

C B7 Em

So, will I ever know heaven or hell?

G

Or is eternity something worse?

C B7

I keep my eyes from looking too far up

G Em

I fear that there is a heaven above

G Em

A fear that there is a heaven above

G Em

A fear that there is a heaven above

G Em

A fear that there is a heaven above

G Em

I hope there's not a heaven above
