Heaven Can Wait

G          C
Heaven can wait
Em            C                 G           C
And a band of Angels wrapped up in my heart
Em           D                  C
Will take me through the lonely night
            A           D
Through the cold of the day

              G
And I know, I know
           C
Heaven can wait
Em                    C                 G           C
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
Em          D                  C
And the melody's gonna make me fly
        A             D
Without pain, without fear

Give me all of your dreams and
Bm

Give me all of your prayers to sing and I'll
D                                   F
Turn the night into the skylight of day

                 C
I got a taste of paradise
    Eb          Bb          F
I'm never gonna let it slip away
                 C
I got a taste of paradise
     Eb           Bb               D
It's all I really need to make me stay
                   G
Just like a child again

           C
Heaven can wait
Em               C              G           C
And all I got is time until the end of time
Em                 D                  C
Well, I won't look back, I won't look back
        A      D
Let the altars shine

If I had it any sooner you know
