verse 1 
         C 
All your trouble 
        G     Am 
Will be over 
             F     C 
So will your pain 
             G                      Am 
You are gonna see those blue skies 
                                 F C 
Bursting right through the rain 
               G      Am 
The higher you climb 
              F 
The lower you fall 
         C G 
You got 
             Am 
Too close to heaven 
            F C 
That's all 


verse 2 
                    G 
Now in the morning 
                             Am 
You can cry all you want to 
                                   F C 
We'll spend the whole day weeping 
                                                  G Am 
Right now I want you to lay down your weary head 
                             F C 
And let me see you sleeping 
                                G                      Am 
You've been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed 
                             F 
Feeling like you're one inch tall 
         C G 
You got 
             Am 
Too close to heaven 
            F 
That's all

verse 3 
                                      G Am 
You're way too hard on yourself baby 
                                        F C 
You got some pretty basic things wrong 
                                       G Am 
You wouldn't believe me if I told you 
                          F     C 
Why I wrote you into this song 
                                  G                             Am 
You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black 
                         F 
But like Icarus and like Saul 
         C G 
You got 
             Am 
Too close to heaven 
            F 
That's all

verse 4 
          Bm                         Am 
Now I know this hurt you're feeling 
                            F    C 
I've felt these same things too 
               Bm                           G Am 
I've got spaces way down deep inside of me 
                               F C 
That are just the same as you 
                                               G 
You wanna wrap your arms around your head, turn out the lights 
                               Am F 
And roll yourself into a ball 
         C G 
You got 
             Am 
Too close to heaven 
            F C 
That's all 
         G 
You got 
             Am      F 
Too close to heaven 
         C G

             Am      F 
Too close to heaven

Verse 5 
                           G            Am 
Now are you blinded by the brilliance? 
                               F C 
Are you dazzled by the light? 
                           G                  Am 
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your cold beaten eyes 
                       F C 
That once were bright 
                               G    Am 
I know you just can't help but run 
                                     F 
When you hear that sweet voice call 
        C G 
You got 
             Am 
Too close to heaven 
            F 
That's all
