Lyrics

A (Dm)drop in the o cean, a (F)change in the weath (C)er.

I was (Dm)pray ing that you (Bb)and me might (F)end up to geth (C)er.

It’s like (Dm)wish ing for (Bb)rain as I (F)stand in the des (C)ert.

But I’m (Dm)hold ing you clos er than (F)most, ’cause (C)you are my (Bb)heav en.

I don’t (Bb)wan na waste the week (F)end.

If you don’t love me, pre (Dm)tend.

A (Bb)few more hours then it’s time to go.

As my train rolls down the (F)East coast I won der how you’ll (Dm)keep warm, s’too (Bb)late to cry, too bro ken to (C)move on.

And still (Gm)I can’t (F)let you (C)be.

Most (F)nights I (C)hard ly sleep.

Don’t take what (F)you don’t (C)need

from me.

It’s just a (Dm)drop in the o cean, a (F)change in the weath (C)er.

I was (Dm)pray ing that you (Bb)and me might (F)end up to geth (C)er.

It’s like (Dm)wish ing for (Bb)rain as I (F)stand in the des (C)ert.

But I’m (Dm)hold ing you clos er than (F)most, ’cause (C)you are my (Bb)heav en.

I don’t (Bb)Mis placed trust and old (F)friends,

nev er count ing re (Dm)grets.

By the (Bb)grace of God I do not rest at all.

New Eng land as (F)leaves change.

The last ex cuse that (Dm)I’ll claim, I was a (Bb)boy who loved (F)a wom an like a lit tle girl.

(Gm)I can’t (F)let you (C)be.

Most (F)nights I (C)hard ly sleep.

Don’t take what (F)you don’t (C)need

from me.

It’s just a (Dm)drop in the o cean, a (F)change in the weath (C)er.

I was (Dm)pray ing that you (Bb)and me might (F)end up to geth (C)er.

It’s like (Dm)wish ing for (Bb)rain as I (F)stand in the des (C)ert.

But I’m (Dm)hold ing you clos er than (F)most, ’cause (C)you are my (F)most, ’cause (C)you are my…

(Gm)Heav en does n’t (F)seem far a (C)way an y more.

No, no, (Gm)heav en does n’t (F)seem far a (Dm)way.

(Gm)Heav en does n’t (F)seem far a (C)way an y more.

No, no, (Gm)heav en does n’t (F)seem far a (C)way.

(Dm)Ah.

Ah.

(CN.C.)It’s just a (F)most, ’cause (C)you are my (Bb)heav en.

Oh, (Dm)you are my (Bb)heav en.
