[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EWhen I get to heaven, is God gonna cry?
EOr will he smile and nod while watching the time?
EYeah, when I get inducted will my welcome note say
A“You had a good run, son, I liked that one song, hey”
F#m7Did he sit up all night wondering how to say
C#mThat he's kind of a big fan from the Chamomile days?
A“My favourite part was when you wished you would die
AAnd up here man, oh, there wasn't a dry eye”
[Verse 2]
ASilly old thing, that green and blue marble
F#m7Floating in darkness, how cool are the stars though?
C#m ADidn't give it much thought, but maybe it's unfair
BThat there's heaps of cancer, death, and despair
AI ask politely, "But wasn't that the devil?"
F#mHe pauses for a second and says he's gonna level
C#m“It was all middle management, pressure from above
BSome universal interests about some real estate stuff
AIt's over my head, don't take it to heart
F#mJust view this as kind of like a nice, fresh start
C#m AWhere you sit in eternity, with no good or evil
BIn an endless cosmos in the eye of a needle”
[Verse 3]
AI said, "Hey, God," he said “Who, me?
F#m7Oh, you must have me confused, I'm just a corporate slogan, see
C#m BIf you need a reason, good or bad, you can rely on me for your facts”
AI said, "So wait, then what's the point?"
F#mHe said, “You're looking for God, I'm sorry, but this ain't the joint
C#mYou just came from Earth, you're telling me
BYou didn't feel a thing? You had the holy keys
ASeriously now, you fell in love
F#m7And that's God right there, what else could you want son?”
C#mYou're telling me that I saw God?
BNo heaven or hell, well that kinda sucks a lot
AWas kinda hoping for a trial by fire
F#m7Or some beautiful paradise
C#mStyle inspired by everything I liked and things that felt right
BHe said, “That's not quite how it works, you know the budgets are tight”
ASo what now?
AHe said, “Well I'll leave you to it
F#m7You got some thinking and you got a lot of time to Do it
C#mBet you kinda wish that now you know the drill
BYou saw heaven every second that the world stood still”
[Verse 4]
Amaj7I said, "It would have been nice to know
F#m7That that was all I had and there was nowhere to go
C#mI would have used all of my time
BTo be a little more loving in my life
AI would have called my enemies up
F#m7Said sorry that I messed up
C#mI would have held it all so tight
EI wouldn't have done things out of spite"
EIsn't it weird you believe or you don't?
EBut either way you should probably make the most of it
E‘Cause the core of it is right here, right now
EAnd I hope you notice it

[Verse 5]
A EI don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets
EEverybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak
AYou're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions
AYou're coming in waves of your own volition
C#mLook, I don't need God to make up the decision
B N.C.
To be a little more loving in my life
A F#mI don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets
C#m BEverybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak
AYou're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions
F#mYou're coming in waves of your own volition
C#mI don't need God to make up the decision
BTo be a little more loving in my life
