C Am G F G
CI don't believe what you're saying
FI don't believe a Cword
CYou never G/Bdid anyAmthing that was Gtrue
And Fhate will be your final Gwork
CI wouldn't dance at your party
No, FI wouldn't risk a Cdance
For the Crest of my time
I will Fkeep it mind
I will Glook at your life and will find:
When you're Fdown on your Dmknees
GThat's when you're closest to Cheaven
Am G F G
CI don't believe when you're smiling
FI don't believe in your Cmask
CYou hardly G/Bsay anyAmthing you don't Guse
All your Flife is a lie at it's Gbest
CYour love means never another
Is there Fanything left that is Ctrue?
You will Cend all alone
With no Fpeace of your own
'Cause the Ggod of love you've never known!
When you're Fdown on your Dmknees
GThat's when you're closest to Cheaven
I guess Fyou'll never get it
You'll Gnever regret all the Ambroken hearts
You've left behind
If there's Fone thing that you'll never find
Peace of Gmind
C F C C G/B Am G F C
EThere's always one a Flonely street
GWalking his way to the Csun
EThere's always one
That takes the Fwhole world's greed
GAll on his back and it's Cdone
FAnd ever since the world's Gturning
There's always a Amfool that is leading the blind
If there's Fone thing that you'll never find
Peace of Gmind
Your Cthoughts are so low it's a shame
That's why for Fyou everyone else is Clow
CPeople see G/Blife through the Amglass in their Ghearts
So the Ffruits of your doings do Gshow
In Cthis world it all could mean maybe
But on the Fother side you'll hear it Cloud
I know Ctime clears the clouds
One day Fyou won't walk proud
It will Gall be revealed there's no doubt
'Cause when you're Fdown on your Dmknees
GThat's when you're closest to Cheaven
'Cause when you're Fdown on your Dmknees
GThat's when you're closest to Cheaven
'Cause when you're Fdown on your Dmknees
GThat's when you're closest to Cheaven

G/B

C Am G F G

I don't believe what you're saying

F C

I don't believe a word

C G/B Am G

You never did anything that was true

F G

And hate will be your final work

I wouldn't dance at your party

F C

No, I wouldn't risk a dance

For the rest of my time

I will keep it mind

I will look at your life and will find:

F Dm

When you're down on your knees

G C

That's when you're closest to heaven

Am G F G

I don't believe when you're smiling

F C

I don't believe in your mask

C G/B Am G

You hardly say anything you don't use

F G

All your life is a lie at it's best

Your love means never another

F C

Is there anything left that is true?

You will end all alone

With no peace of your own

'Cause the god of love you've never known!

F Dm

When you're down on your knees

G C

That's when you're closest to heaven

I guess you'll never get it

G Am

You'll never regret all the broken hearts

You've left behind

If there's one thing that you'll never find

Peace of mind

C F C C G/B Am G F C

E F

There's always one a lonely street

G C

Walking his way to the sun

There's always one

That takes the whole world's greed

G C

All on his back and it's done

F G

And ever since the world's turning

There's always a fool that is leading the blind

If there's one thing that you'll never find

Peace of mind

Your thoughts are so low it's a shame

F C

That's why for you everyone else is low

C G/B Am G

People see life through the glass in their hearts

F G

So the fruits of your doings do show

In this world it all could mean maybe

F C

But on the other side you'll hear it loud

I know time clears the clouds

One day you won't walk proud

It will all be revealed there's no doubt

F Dm

'Cause when you're down on your knees

G C

That's when you're closest to heaven

F Dm

'Cause when you're down on your knees

G C

That's when you're closest to heaven

F Dm

'Cause when you're down on your knees

G C

That's when you're closest to heaven
