[Verse 1]
CElectricity roared but you looked so bored on the Dmline
Nobody kEmnows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your Dmmind
CCalling all cars, one less dog behind bars, Dmone less man in pain
It Emhurts to see you go but darling don't you know Dmwe're so glad you came
[Chorus]
And Fyou'll stay gone a long, long Ctime
Day by Gday you'll fly across our Fminds
Only a Emfool would want to stick Faround
When you're heaven Cbound
[Verse 2]
CDisconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from Dmmind
EmSo sad and blue, how'd you do, of course you did just Dmfine
CSo grab a tail on this big gray whale and do Dmyour best to stay brave
EmIn that final hour he's just a beautiful floweDmr that couldn't be saved
[Chorus]
And Fyou'll stay gone a long, long Ctime
Day by Gday you'll fly across our Fminds
Only a Emfool would want to stick Faround
When you're heaven Cbound
[Bridge]
C Dm Em Dm
[Chorus]
And Fyou'll stay gone a long, long Ctime
Day by Gday you'll fly across our Fminds
Only a Emfool would want to stick Faround
When you're heaven Cbound, heaven bound
