Tune down 1/2 step to Eb  
 
Intro: G D Dsus4 D  
 
Verse: 
 G  
Got a picture of your house   
 D               Dsus2  
And you're standin by the door   
 Cadd9  
It's black and white and faded   
 D  
And it's lookin pretty worn   
 G  
See the factory that I worked   
 D  Dsus2  
Silhouetted in the back   
 Cadd9  
The memories are grey but man   
 D 
They're really coming back  
 
Bridge: 
 Cadd9                 D               G  
I don't need to be the king of the world  
 Cadd9              D        G     D   Cadd9  
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl  
 
Chorus: 
 G             D      Cadd9  
Heaven isn't too far away   
 G            D     Cadd9  
Closer to it every day   
 G                  D           Cadd9  
No matter what your friends might say  
 
Verse: 
How I love the way you move  
And the sparkle in your eyes  
There's a color deep inside you  
Like the blue suburban sky  
 
When I come home late at night  
And you're in bed asleep  
I'll wrap my arms around you  
So I can feel you breathe  
 
Bridge: 
I don't need to be a Superman  
Long as you will always be my biggest fan  
 
Chorus: 
 G             D      Cadd9  
Heaven isn't too far away   
 G            D     Cadd9  
Closer to it every day   
 G                  D           Cadd9  
No matter what your friends might say    
 D              G  
We'll find our way  
 
Solo over verse chords  
 
Verse: 
Now the lights are going out  
Along the boulevard  
Memories come rushing back  
And it makes it pretty hard  
 
I got nowhere left to go  
And no one really cares  
I don't know what to do  
But i'm never givin up on you  
 
Chorus: 
 A             E       D  
Heaven isn't too far away   
 A            E      D  
Closer to it every day  
 A               E           D  
No matter what your friends say, I know we're gonna find a way,   
  A  E  D  
(Heaven)  
 A  E  D 
(Heaven)   
 A  E  D 
(Heaven)It's not too far away

INTRO: C#m A B F#m C#m B A  
 
               C#m                 A 
Sometimes I'm lost - And then I'm found 
             B                    F#m 
Sometimes I feel - Turned inside out 
           C#m              B           A
I'm often silent when I'm screaming inside 
            C#m               A 
Instead of love - We tend to hate 
           B            F#m 
We never quite - Appreciate 
              C#m           B        A
How much the other person cares or tries 
 
CHORUS:
 F#m          
    Hold me close 
 A  
    Don't ever let me go 
 F#m              
     I'm confused 
 A                         B
 Maybe someday I will know why... 
 E             F#m      A 
Sometimes I'm right as rain 
             B        C#m 
And when it rains it pours 
               B         A
You're such a mystery 
Why can't I unlock the door 
 E                 F#m    A
All that glitters isn't gold 
             B    C#m
Too much is overkill 
 E            B   A F#m
Love can be beautiful 
Or a bitter pill 
 
C#m A B F#m C#m B A
 
               C#m                 A 
And when I'm right - I'm also wrong 
             B                F#m 
We give and take - To get along 
                C#m              B           A
There's so much more to this than I ever dreamed 
               C#m                 A 
And when you smile - I have to laugh 
             B                    F#m 
And when you cry - I'm torn in half 
           C#m              B       A
So calm and yet so loose at the seams 
 
CHORUS:
 F#m          
    Hold me close 
 A  
   Don't ever let me go 
  F#m              
     I'm confused 
 A                         B
 Maybe someday I will know why... 
 E             F#m      A 
Sometimes I'm right as rain 
             B        C#m 
And when it rains it pours 
               B     A
You're such a mystery 
Why can't I unlock the door 
 E                 F#m    A
All that glitters isn't gold 
             B    C#m
Too much is overkill 
 E            B   A F#m
Love can be beautiful 
Or a bitter pill
