[Verse]
Eb             Gm Ab               Bb
Johnny back in 64   drinking to himself
       Eb            Gm      Ab               Bb
He was celebrating christmas    on a public bench
    Cm                          Ab                      Eb
The sky was like a lighted roof    the park was all in white
          Bb   Ab           Bb
And our Johnny    saw the light

Eb                  Fm       Gm             Ab
Christmas eve was rolling in    and angles sang
Fm            Em               Bb
   Same old songs they use to do
    Ab             Bb
And Johnny looked up
     Eb          Bb    Cm   Gm  Ab
His voice was almost bright
      Eb              Fm   Bb
As a shadow through night


[Chorus]
Eb Bb         Cm
Heaven can wait
Ab                Eb          Fm  Bb
Tell me that it's getting to laaaate
Eb Bb         Cm
Heaven can wait
Ab                Eb                 Fm   Bb
Tell me that's is getting much to late


[Verse]
Eb                  Fm
One by one they're drifting through in life
Gm              Ab
   And nobody notice
Eb             Fm        Bb
   I can count the stars   and you can reach the moon

Eb               Fm  Gm        Ab
   But all are happy    to celebrate him
Fm                 Fm7         Bb    Ab Bb
   Who came with glory died in shame

Ab                    Bb
   The night turned colder
    Eb            Bb     Cm Gm Fm
The old man is getting warm
          Fm7               Bb
He never hurts for much in life
Ab                  Bb
   Just a piece of happieness
Eb    Bb       Cm   Gm  Ab
And a taste of rum
              Eb                    Fm  Bb
It's time to leave now and come on home

Tell me that it's getting to laaaate
