[Intro] | Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 2 | Riff 2 | [Verse 1]
D
 Can't understand what is happening to me

D
 This isn't real, this is only a dream

       Riff 3                                            D
But I never have felt, no, I never have felt this way before

D
 I'm looking down on my body below

D
 I lie asleep in the midst of a dream

       Riff 3                                           D
Is it now could it be that the angel of death has come for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
 I can't believe that really my time has come

                                            C
I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone

                                                C
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away
[Chorus]
            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day
[Verse 2]
D
 I have a lust for the Earth below

D
 And Hell itself is my only foe

             Riff 3                                         D
'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready

D
 I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays

D
 I see a tunnel, I stand amazed

   Riff 3                                        D
At all of the people standing there in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
 Into the paths of rightness I'll be led

                                             C
Is this the place where the living join the dead?

                                         C
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare
[Chorus]
            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

D
 My body tingles, I feel so strange

D
 I feel so tired, I feel so drained

         Riff 3                              D
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again

D
 Is this in limbo or Heaven or Hell?

D
 Maybe I'm going down there as well

   Riff 3                              D
I can't accept my soul will drift forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
 I feel myself floating back down to Earth

                                   C
So could this be the hour of my rebirth?

                                        C
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?
[Chorus]
            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day

            D                C
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait

            F
Heaven can wait

            G
Heaven can wait 'til another day
