I was drivin' - it was rainin'
Em7 C
On my way to bring her roses
G G/B D
When I got there - she wasn't there al one
G G/F#
Oh, it tore my world to pieces
Em7 C
To know we'd never be to gether
G G/B D
So I said "goodbye" - and headed off down the road
Em7 G
I couldn't see for the tears and rain
Em7 G
Heard the crash and I felt the pain
Am C/B C D
And my life was over just like that
G G/F#
But, I'm in a better place
Em7 C
No more tears on my face
Am C G D
Up here a bove the coulds - I can see clearly, now
G G/F#
She was my reason for livin'
Em7 C
And after all the love I've given
Am C/B Am
I never dreamed I'd die with this heart ache
C/B C D G
Oh, but I'm in a better place
G G/F#
Now she's standing there cryin'
Em7 C
Like she's dying to hold me
G G/B D
Too bad - she waited too late
G G/F#
I spent most of my life
Em7 C
Just tryin' to make her love me
G G/B D
Can't be lieve what it took to finally make her look my way
Em7 G
The preacher man sends up a prayer
Em7 G
The organ music fills the air
Am C/B C D
And the choir sings, as they carry me a way
G G/F#
She was my reason for livin'
Em7 C
And after all the love I've given
Am C/B Am
I never dreamed I'd die with this heart ache
C/B C D G
Oh, but I'm in a better place
