[Intro]
|(Bm)(D/C#)|(D)(D/F#)|(G) |(G) | x 2
You know, [D]someone told me once that [A]angels don't exist
And that [C]paradise was just a poor man's [G]dream[A]
[D]Without hesitation, I can [A]say he was mistaken
'Cause I've [C]wrapped my arms around celestial [G]wings
[G/F#]But for [Em]reasons we don't [D/F#]know, some aren't [G]meant to be here long[G/F#]
And [Em]then one day the [D/F#]good Lord calls them home[A]
[Chorus]
Now [Bbm]I may [Bm]never find peace or ful- [A]fill some destiny
I may be [G]cursed just to [G/F#]walk this earth alone[Em][A]
[Bbm]And I [Bm]never will erase the memory [A]of her gentle face
But I can [G]go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile[Em]
'Cause [F#]I knew [G]heaven [A]for a while
(Bm)(D/C#)|(D)(D/F#)|(G) |(G)
The other [D]day I took a drive to that [A]place up on the hill
I brought [C]flowers and I laid them on the stone[G][A]
And I [D]sat there for some time with this [A]runnin' through my mind
How [C]much we take for granted till it's gone[G]
[G/F#]Then I [Em]got back in my [D/F#]car and I [G]slowly drove away[G/F#]
[Em]Knowing she was [D/F#]in a better place[A]
[Chorus]
Now [Bbm]I may [Bm]never find peace or ful- [A]fill some destiny
I may be [G]cursed just to [G/F#]walk this earth alone[Em][A]
[Bbm]And I [Bm]never will erase the memory [A]of her gentle face
But I can [G]go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile[Em]
'Cause [F#]I knew [G]heaven [A]for a while
[Bridge]
The [F]world [C]turns and [Eb]seasons [D]change
And [Em]rivers keep on [D/F#]runnin' to the sea[G][A]
[F]Tears [C]dry and [Eb]hearts [D]heal
And [Em]what is meant to [D/F#]be will always [A]be ---
[Chorus]
Now [Bbm]I may [Bm]never find peace or ful- [A]fill some destiny

[Bbm]And I [Bm]never will erase the memory [A]of her gentle face
But I can [G]go to the other side [G/F#]with a smile[Em][E]
'Cause [F#]I knew [G]heaven[A]
[Tag]
I knew [Bm]heaven, [A/F#]I kne[Em]w h[E]eaven f[G]or a wh[A]ile
