Intro: E 
       E A B E 

E                A    B E 
David was a boy, just a letch, 
E                        B  A  E 
A simple means of birth, oh so sick, 
E                    A    B E 
Another wasted life, many before, 
E                        B  A 
But David wanted better, so much more 

A                              E 
David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating, 
A                     E 
Gonna get to heaven tonight 
A                              E 
David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating 
B 
All he has to do is step into the light 

E A B E 

E                     A   B  E 
The promise of heaven out of reach. 
E                    B    A   E 
With expectations he couldn't meet 
E                        A    B   E 
But David found a way to jump the line 
E                B    A E 
A back door in a life divine, 


A                              E 
David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating, 
A                     E 
Gonna get to heaven tonight 
A                              E 
David's got a feeling, earthly bounds are retreating 
B 
All he has to do is step into the light 

A                   E 
Death comes swiftly, for those who wait, 
A                                F#               B 
But he's just like the rest of us, an impatient ingrate 

E 

A                   E 
Death comes swiftly, for those who wait, 
A                                 E 
But he's just like the rest of us, an impatient ingrate 
A                   E 
Death comes swiftly, for those who wait, 
A                                F#               B 
But he's just like the rest of us, an impatient ingrate
