Verse 1:



C     Cadd4    C   Cadd4         G   Gsus4   G

I was just a child     when you took   my   hand

    C            Cadd4          C

We set the whole damn world on fire

     Cadd4             G        Gsus4       G

You showed me what it was to be loved by a man

    Am           Amadd9        C

But one day the   axe   just  fell

          Am            Amadd9        C

And the whole world got  shot all to hell

           G           D

There's a hole in my heart



Chorus:

         C             G

We were so, so close to heaven

        C    CMaj9     Am                   D   Dsus3

We were al - most  as good, as good as it gets

             G    D/F#     Em

And you were al - most an angel

         C              D7

That was almost heaven-sent

             G     D        G  (walkdown)

So close to hea - ven, so close





Verse 2:

 C           Cadd4      C

Our love was crazy and wild

Cadd4       G     Gsus4       G

Tender and mild,  slow and strong

   C    Cadd4        C      Cadd4   G  Gsus4      G     

Tonight I'll set on fire as no - - ble     as a storm

      Am      Amadd9            C

The lightning  fell  from your eyes

 Am             Amadd9        C

Suddenly, there   was no goodbye

           G           D

There's a hole in my heart





Chorus:

         C             G

We were so, so close to heaven

        C    CMaj9     Am                   D   Dsus3

We were al - most  as good, as good as it gets

             G    D/F#     Em

And you were al - most an angel

         C              D7

That was almost heaven-sent

             G     D        C   Cadd4  C

So close to hea - ven, so close





Bridge:

Am                                   

Wax wings that flew too close to the sun

     Am                  D7

But wasn't it so fun to fly

Am

It's far better to love and to lose

       Am                    D7  D7sus4

It's better to love than to die





Chorus:

         G                C

We were so, so close to heaven

          C      CMaj9     

We were almost, almost, 

  Am                   D   Dsus3

Almost as good as it gets

             G    D/F#     Em

And you were al - most an angel

           C            D7

That was almost heaven-sent

             G     D 

So close to hea - ven,

     G          D

So close to heaven,

     G          D    G

So close to heaven
