Em                          F 
 I lost my faith when I was young 
Am                            Em 
 I clenched my fist to bite my tongue 
Em                          F 
 I leave awake from all the things that I had done 
      Am                                  Em 
Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on 


            C 
Then I said wait 
        B7                     Em 
Are our bodies really piles of dirt? 
           G 
And is the soul just a metaphor? 
C                            B7 
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up 
  G                    Em 
I fear that there is a heaven above 

Cm - C7 
Am - Bm7 

Em                          F 
 I stood in lines to bow my head 
            Am 
I'd fold my hands and speak in tongues 
           Em 
To whisper worries to the dead 
            Em                         F 
But I could tell no apparition heard a single word I said 
    Am                               Em 
But I'd still call my voice in to the air 

            C 
Then I said wait 
      B7                      Em 
Is my body really part of the earth 
             G                        C 
And is there blood running through my veins? 
                 B7 
I'll know when I turn to dust 
      G                     Em 
But I fear the answer isn't enough  
C          B7                  Em 
So, will I ever know heaven or hell? 
      G                           
Or is eternity something worse? 
C                            B7 
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up 
  G                    Em 
I fear that there is a heaven above (heaven above, heaven above) 

Cm - C7      
Am - Bm7 

Cm                      C7 
  I want to give it up   
Cm                      C7 
  I want to give it up  
Cm                      C7 
  I want to give it up          
      Am                   B7 
But I just need it too much 

C 
Wait 
      B7                      Em 
Is my body really part of the earth 
             G                        C 
And is there blood running through my veins? 
                 B7 
I'll know when I turn to dust 
      G                     Em 
But I fear the answer isn't enough  
C          B7                  Em 
So, will I ever know heaven or hell? 
      G                           
Or is eternity something worse? 
C                            B7 
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up 
  G                    Em 
I fear that there is a heaven above 
  G                    Em 
A fear that there is a heaven above 
  G                    Em 
A fear that there is a heaven above 
  G                    Em 
A fear that there is a heaven above 
  G                  Em 
I hope there's not a heaven above
