Heaven – Capo 2 – Derek Webb

G C G

I was killed in a shopping cart.

G D

Turned upside down and left for dead

G C G

I saw a clown try to speak to me

C D G

As I floated over head.

G C G

I found my way to a familiar place

G D

I swear I’ve been some time before

G C G

I would have thought it was the marketplace

C D G

But I could not find the door

Em D G

Oh I have been to heaven

C G D

And I have walked the streets

Em D C G

Cause I couldn’t find the hand to hold

C D G

To keep me on my feet

G C G

So paradise is a parking lot

G D

A spot up front is your reward

G C G

All the rest walk down streets of gold

C D G

To the house they could afford

G C G

I got lost in swelling crowd

G D

And I could not afford to eat

G C G

You only have what you came in with

C D G

So I’m living on the street

Em D G

Oh I have been to heaven

C G D

And I found no relief

Em D C G

Cause I couldn’t find the hand to hold

C D G

To keep me on my feet

G C G

I heard Jesus Christ was there

G D

He had a car that’s bulletproof

G C G

That way everyone is safe

C D G

From the man who tells the truth

Em D G

Oh I have been to heaven

C G D

And I found no relief

Em D C G

Cause I couldn’t find the hand to hold

C D G

To keep me on my feet
