Tom: Bm
Intro- Palm muted chug on the B chord
(Verse)
B D A
City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning
B D A
Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me
B D A
He asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you."
B D A
Good deeds and halos not sure what I believe.
F#
He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you?
F#
How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm...
(Chorus)
B D A
Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
B D A
Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
B D A
Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!
F#
I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me!
(Repeat Intro)
(Verse)
B D A
'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder
B D A
Says, "are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?"
B D A
"Well, I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?"
B D A
"I've always wondered what the fuss is all about."
F#
I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D.
F#
Tryin' to slip past the Authority! And now I'm...
(Repeat Chorus)
B D A
Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession
B D A
I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine
B D A
Peter laughs and says, "Well, boy, haven't you noticed?
B D A
We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine!
F#
'Cause nobody's good enough, and up here we're all the same.
F#
We all get to heaven under Someone Else's name!"
