[Verse 1]
C   C/B                     Am
Sometimes, baby, when you're really down
Dm              C                   G
There just don't seem to be a ray of hope around
C            Em            Am                     Am/G
And everybody that you meet kind of wears a frown
F            Em            Dm
It's cold and lonely in the heart of town
      G
Got to tell you all that

[Chorus]
C        G7                  C     G7
There's a place that's called heaven
C        G7       C  G7
Don't you ever forget
C          G7          C     A7
Now, once I heard about heaven, yeah
D7       G7        C
I'm gonna get there yet

[Verse 2]
C   C/B                Am
Some days you laugh and some days you cry
Dm          C                        G
Sometimes it feels like the world has passed you right by
C              Em                     Am             Am/G
But everybody's got to find a peaceful place to hide
F            Em              Dm
If you're out looking, take a look inside
     G
And I think you'll find that

[Chorus]
C        G7                   C     G7
There's a place that's called heaven
C        G7                   C      G7
You might think that's kind of square, oh oh yeah
C              G7      C     A7
If you don't believe in heaven, yeah
D7       G7
You ain't never been there

[Bridge]
Am            Dm                F            C
They'll try to bring you down to their way of thinking, yeah
Am           Dm        F             C
But don't you do it, no no, don't you let it get by
Am      Dm                           F                       C
A little voice inside will tell you exactly what you're gonna do
          F  Em  Dm  G
Don't be a fool, ooh yeah

[Verse 3]
C                C/B        Am
You don't have to go looking near or far
Dm                 C                  G
'Cause you can find happiness standing right where you are
C        Em                      Am             Am/G
Just open up the windows that are in your heart
F          Em                     Dm
And let the light shine, then your life will start
         G
Please believe it that

[Chorus]
C        G7                  C     G7
There's a place that's called heaven
C               G7      C           G7
It's filled with joy and peace, whoa oh yeah
C           G7            C     A7
And once you get a look at heaven, yeah
D7             G7            C
You'll find the love that you seek
                     A7
When all the world is falling down
D7           G7                C
You'll find a world filled with peace and love and joy
   A7                 D7           G7            F
For every girl and boy and all your troubles will cease

[Outro]
                          Em           Dm
You know, somebody said to keep on pushing
G
'Cause there's a change that's got to come
F                       Em          Dm                     G
She said, "Thank the Lord" and every day I thank you, Lord
              F              Em
For all the stars and all the seas
   Dm                G            C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C
And all the birds and all the bees
