    A                E         D                     A  E  
You might believe in heaven, I would not care to say 
    A                 E             D                 A      
For every star in heaven, there's a sad soul here today 
     D                        Bm 
Wake up in the morning with a good face 
E                     A  
stare at the moon all day 
D                        Bm 
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase 
     E                E7sus4 
does anyone care anyway? 
    A                    E 
For all the prayers in heaven 
   D                   F    A  E  D  E7sus4   A 
so much of life's this way 
 
 
     A 
     Did we leave our way behind us? 
     (A) 
     Such a long, long way behind us? 
     D 
     Who knows when, now who knows where? 
     A 
     Where the light of day might find us? 
     D7               A 
     Look for the day. 
 
Take heart, my friend, we love you 
though it seems like you're alone 
A million lights above you 
smile down upon your home 
Hurry put your troubles in a suitcase 
Come let the new child play 
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase 
I'm leaving here, I'm gone away 
For all the stars in heaven 
  D                 F                    A 
I would not live, I could not live, this way 
 
     A 
     Did we leave our way behind us? 
     Such a long, long time behind us? 
     D 
     Leave it for some hopeless lane 
     A 
     Such a long, long way 
     Such a long, long way 
                           A7 
     Such a long, long way 
     A   D            F                      A 
     I'm looking for, still looking for that day
