                     D           A      G 
Well, it's been real nice living way up here 
       D              A    G 
In paradise, over the atmosphere 
                 Bm                  Em 
But I can't stay long, gotta make my way 
            G     A     D                  D A G, D A G 
I'm leaving Hea - ven today 
  
                     D           A       G 
You see the world is dark and it needs a light 
                 D           A       G 
I'm gonna hang a star in the eastern sky 
                     Bm                 Em 
So everybody's gonna know where I touch down 
            G     A         D 
I'm leaving Hea - ven right now 
  
          G     D          A      D 
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth 
        G        D          A 
Trading in these streets of gold 
          G    D      A               D 
So if you ever wonder how much you're worth 
           Em 
You should know 
     G          D      G       A       D       D A G, D A G 
That you're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven 
  
                  D                    A     G 
Ain't gonna be no kingdom, ain't gonna be no crown 
                  D            A          G 
Just a little old manger, in a little old town 
                  Bm                   Em 
But it'll do just fine for this humble King 
            G          A              D 
I'm leaving Heaven let all the angels sing 
  
          G     D          A      D 
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth 
        G        D          A 
Trading in these streets of gold 
           G   D      A               D 
So if you ever wonder how much you're worth 
           Em 
You should know 
G          D      G       A       D             D A G, D A G 
You're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven 
  
            D          A     G 
And when my time comes to an end 
                 D           A      G 
I'll lay down my life like a truest friend 
                    Bm                        Em 
And when I get back home, I'm gonna make some room 
              G                 A               D 
So, don't you worry, 'cause I'm coming back for you 
  
             G       D           A      D 
And you will say goodbye to that broken Earth 
             G       D          A 
You're gonna walk on streets of gold 
           G    D      A               D 
And if you ever wonder what my love is worth 
                Em 
Well you should know 
     G       D      G         A      D 
That I'm the reason you'll be seeing Heaven 
    G          D      G       A       D        D A G 
Oh, you're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven 
            D         A G, D A G D 
I'm leaving Heaven
