Place Nearby

------------------------------------

[Verse]

I entered the room

Sat by your bed all through the night

I watched your daily fight

I hardly knew

The pain

Was almost more than I could bear

And still I hear

Your last words to me

[Chorus]

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G C

So I won't be so far away

F Am

And if you try and look for me

F G

Maybe you'll find me someday

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G Am

So there's no need to say goodbye

G Am

I wanna ask you not to cry

F G

I'll always be by your side

[Verse]

You just faded away

You spread your wings, you had flown

Away to something unknown

Wish I could bring you back

You're always on my mind

About to tear myself apart

Am C

You have your special place in my heart, always

[Chorus]

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G C

So I won't be so far away

F Am

And if you try and look for me

F G

Maybe you'll find me someday

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G Am

So there's no need to say goodbye

G Am

I wanna ask you not to cry

F G

I'll always be by your side

[Bridge]

And even when I go to sleep

I still can hear your voice

F G C

And those words I never will forget

[Chorus]

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G C

So I won't be so far away

F Am

And if you try and look for me

F G

Maybe you'll find me someday

C Am

Heaven is a place nearby

F G Am

So there's no need to say goodbye

G Am

I wanna ask you not to cry
