 E7              Am     Fmaj7    C     E      Am
Take me to the church where my father and my mother
 Fmaj7     C      E         Am
Prayed for me and my dear brother
 Fmaj7     C      Em   Am    F         Am
While the angels undercover cursed our names
 F            C     Em       Am
Children, do you believe in heaven?
 F           C     E        Am
Tell me, do you believe in heaven?
 F                 C           Em          Am
'Cause there's a place that's filled with flames
 F        C      Em        Am
And it's calling out your name
 F     C       E       Am
So you best believe in heaven
 Fmaj7                      G
With your blind and absent faith

     E7            Am     Fmaj7    C          E          Am
And take me to the park where we played, the light went dark
 Fmaj7    C     E      Am
And even jesus didn't matter
 F           C         Em          Am
'cause our souls were filled with laughter
 F 
And our laughter reached to heaven
 Am                        G
While our sorrows went to hell

 E7              Am     Fmaj7    C     E        Am
Take me to the fields where my father spent his days
 Fmaj7   C     Em       Am
Slaving for a beggar's wage
 Fmaj7       C     Em      Am  
The day is over, turn the page
 F           C       E      Am
There'll be another when you wake
 F      C        E    Am
Waiting in your cup of coffee
 Am      C        Em     Am
And you hear our mother coughing
 Am       C    Em      Am
As you whisper to her softly
         F                    G
But we still hear we every strain
   Fmaj7              G
We still hear every strain

 E7                 Am     Fmaj7    C     E        Am
And take me to the house where my mother rests her bones
 Fmaj7    C        E         Am
In that chair she rests her bones
 Fmaj7   C      Em     Am
Quietly, unsuspecting throne
         F              G                Am
Lock me out, but don't deny her what she owns
           C      Em        Am
Because i don't believe in heaven
 F     C      Em        Am
No, i don't believe in heaven
 F          C           Em          Am
There's a place that's filled with flames
 F        C       E     Am
And it's calling out my name
 F        C     E          Am
'cause i don't believe in heaven
         F             G               Am
Lock me out but don't deny her what she owns
        Fmaj7          G                C   
Lock me out but don't deny her what she owns
