Verse 1 

C 
Living life from day to day 
       G        
And reading books from page to page, 
F 
I know life is just my stage 
      C 
And I wish I could, I said I would, 
  G                    F 
I know I should do something good 
       C 
And my God, I fear I'm shedding tears, 
    G                         F 
The colors change from year to year,....around here 


Chorus 1 & 2 

           C         G       F 
And I said how, do I get to Heaven from here, 
             C        G       F 
I wanna know how do I get to Heaven from here 

(Riff) 

Am     C    F 
Holy....... Toledo, where does the time go 
Am            
My dreads are locked my watch is stopped, 
C                                 F 
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked 
        G             Am 
How do I redeem my sins 
         C                               F     G 
Well, I sure hope St. Peter's gonna let me in  
     Am      C    F        G 
Holy Toledo... 



Verse 2 

         C 
Now I've said too much, I'm losing touch 
G                               F 
Step on the gas and off the clutch 
              C 
Oh, I'm gonna leave Toledo, 
                  G 
Have no fear and time goes slow 
                  F 
But I'm shifting gears 


Chorus 3 

           C         G        F 
And I said how, do I get to Heaven from here, 
         C             
I wanna know how in the hell 
     G         F 
Am I gonna to Heaven from here 
Am     C     F 
Holy........ Toledo, where does the time go 
Am      
My dreads are locked my watch is stopped, 
C                                   F 
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked 
        G             Am  
How do I redeem my sins 
C                        F                      G 
Well open up St. Peter your gonna let me in... 
     Am      C    F        G 
Holy Toledo... 

       C        G        F 
I said how do I get to Heaven from here...
