[Verse]
Well, the Cheadlines in heaven tell about a Gwoman's heart
Who was Am7on the streets of Brooklyn out Fin the cold and dark
DmAll that she had left was something Fwarm to eat
But she Dmcame across a child with no Gshoes on her feet
It was Amall G/Bshe Chad, but she Fgave it anywayD  
That's what the Dmheadlines in Gheaven sayC  F/C  C  
In the Cheadlines in heaven, there's a Gman from New Orleans
With a Am7wife and two children, and a Fyoung secretary
One late Dmnight they were alone in the Foffice
She snuck her Dmway onto his lap and made a Gpromise
It's what Amany maG/Bn would've Cwanted, but he said Fno and walked awayD  
That's what the Dmheadlines in Gheaven sayC  F/C  C  
The Amheadlines of eaFrth are big and boldC  
They Amtell about the thFings that are imCportant to the worldG  
They Am7roll in like Fthunder, but G#dimquickly pass awAmay
The Fheadlines of earth always faGde
[Chorus]
In the Cheadlines of heaven, a Gman stationed in the Middle East
Lost Am7both his legs in battle, but didn't Fask for anything
InsDmtead he bought a ticket to go Fback
And spent the Dmnext year building houses where his Gblood once ran
It was the laAmst thing G/Byou'd exCpect, but he Fdid it anywayD  
That's what the Dmheadlines in Gheaven sayC  F/C  C  
The Amheadlines of Fheaven never Cmake the front page heGre
They're the Amlittle acts of kGindness that they Conly see up Gthere
And they're Am7written in the Fsky, and they never G#dimpass awaAmy
Yeah, the Fheadlines in heaven never faGde
Well, the Cheadlines in heaven are for Ganyone at all
Who is Am7faced with life's decisions, but Fchooses to stand tall
We won't Dmsee these headlines till our lives have Fended
But they're Dmsaving 'em up there so we'll remeGmber
G#dimOh, the AmheadlineG/Bs in heCaven are Fwaiting for your naDme
What will the Dmheadlines in Gheaven say?C  F/C  C
