[Verse 1]
         C
All your trouble
        G/D   Am/C
Will be over
             F/C  C
So will your pain
             G/D                    Am/C
You are gonna see those blue skies
                                 F/C C
Bursting right through the rain
               G/D      Am/C
The higher you climb
              F/C
The lower you fall
         C G/D
You got
             Am/C
Too close to heaven
            F/C C
That's all


[Verse 2]
                    G/D
Now in the morning
                             Am/C
You can cry all you want to
                                   F/C C
We'll spend the whole day weeping
                                                  G/D Am/C
Right now I want you to lay down your weary head
                             F/C C
And let me see you sleeping
                                G/D                    Am/C
You've been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed
                             F/C
Feeling like you're one inch tall
         C G/D
You got
             Am/C
Too close to heaven
            F/C
That's all

[Verse 3]
                                      G/D Am/C
You're way too hard on yourself baby
                                        F/C C
You got some pretty basic things wrong
                                       G/D Am/C
You wouldn't believe me if I told you
                          F/C   C
Why I wrote you into this song
                                  G/D                           Am/C
You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black
                         F/C
But like Icarus and like Saul
         C G/D
You got
             Am/C
Too close to heaven
            F/C
That's all

[Verse 4]
          G/D                        Am/C
Now I know this hurt you're feeling
                            F/C  C
I've felt these same things too
                G                          G/D Am/C
I've got spaces way down deep inside of me
                               F/C C
That are just the same as you
                                               G/D
You wanna wrap your arms around your head, turn out the lights
                               Am/C F/C
And roll yourself into a ball
         C G/D
You got
             Am/C
Too close to heaven
            F/C C
That's all
         G/D
You got
             Am/C      F/C
Too close to heaven
         C G/D
You got
             Am/C      F/C
Too close to heaven

[Verse 5]
                           G/D          Am/C
Now are you blinded by the brilliance?
                               F/C C
Are you dazzled by the light?
                           G/D                  Am/C
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your cold beaten eyes
                       F/C C
That once were bright
                               G/D  Am/C
I know you just can't help but run
                                     F/C
When you hear that sweet voice call
        C G/D
You got
             Am/C
Too close to heaven
            F/C
That's all
