You're The Nearest Thing To Heaven(Chords)

	        


Verse:
 
D 
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue 
  A                                      D 
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue 
D 
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green 
               A                 D 
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen 

 
D           G                               D 
You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are 

I have searched for happiness so long and far 
D                                       G 
But my search for love was through the day that I found you 
                  D                A               D 
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are
