Would you (D)hold my (Em)hand
if I saw you in heav (D)en?
Would you (D)help me (Em)stand
if I saw you in heav (D)en?
I’ll find my way
through night and day
’cause I know
I just can’t stay
here in heav (D)en.
Would you (D)know my (Em)name
if I saw you in heav (D)en?
Would it (D)be the (Em)same
if I saw you in heav (D)en?
I must be strong
and car ry on
’cause I know
I don’t be long
here in heav (D)en.
Time can (Am)bring you down, time can (C)bend your knees.
Time can (Am)break the heart, have you (C)beg gin’ please,
beg gin’ please.
Be yond the door
there’s peace, I’m sure.
And I know
there’ll be no more
tears in heav (D)en.
