      G                G/F#
I was drivin' - it was rainin'
      Em7              C
On my way to bring her roses
     G                 G/B             D
When I got there - she wasn't there al one
       G                G/F#
Oh, it tore my world to pieces
             Em7         C
To know we'd never be to gether
     G                               G/B      D
So I said "goodbye" - and headed off down the road
Em7                    G
I couldn't see for the tears and rain
Em7                   G
Heard the crash and I felt the pain
    Am          C/B  C         D
And my life was over just like that

              G      G/F#
But, I'm in a better place
        Em7         C
No more tears on my face
          Am                C                  G   D
Up here a bove the coulds - I can see clearly, now
           G          G/F#
She was my reason for livin'
          Em7               C
And after all the love I've given
  Am                C/B                 Am
I never dreamed I'd die with this heart ache
    C/B C        D      G
Oh, but I'm in a better place

          G              G/F#
Now she's standing there cryin'
           Em7      C
Like she's dying to hold me
G             G/B        D
Too bad - she waited too late
        G          G/F#
I spent most of my life
     Em7                C
Just tryin' to make her love me
         G                     G/B                   D
Can't be lieve what it took to finally make her look my way
Em7                    G
The preacher man sends up a prayer
Em7             G
The organ music fills the air
        Am                   C/B   C    D
And the choir sings, as they carry me a way

           G          G/F#
She was my reason for livin'
          Em7               C
And after all the love I've given
  Am                C/B                 Am
I never dreamed I'd die with this heart ache
    C/B C        D      G
Oh, but I'm in a better place
