[Intro] Eb Ab Eb7 Ab Eb Ab Eb7 Ab [Verse 1]
           Eb                                           Eb7
That's the secret of the world he said, the one eternal lie

  Gm             Ab               Eb
Believing we are different by our own design

       Eb                                       Eb7
Once a Catholic, always Catholic, Buddhist or a Jew

         Gm      Ab                    Eb
Well if you were God, they'd look the same to you
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench by Notre Dame, silently watching

          Eb
While old people feed the sparrows in the snow

           Bb7
They're so tiny yet so fearless, like confetti 'til they near us

       Bbm7      Ab
And so I want to know
[Chorus]
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?

Cm           Bb
But we don't know it, oh

      Gm7 Ab
Is it heaven?

Cm     Bb
In our hearts and hands

        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?

Cm     Ab           Bb Eb Bb
In the midst of everyday
[Verse 2]
           Eb                                                    Eb7
Shoot the doctors who kill babies, it's seldom white men who will fry

Gm          Ab          Eb
Is that the currency of human life?

             Eb                                             Eb7
'Midst these monuments of glory, it's always someone else's son

Gm                Ab             Eb
History taught us nothing but to come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, two small lost people find each other

        Eb
Finding comfort in what neither of us know

           Bb7
And the further on life goes, the more we see we are alone

       Bbm7      Ab
And so I want to know
[Chorus]
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?

Cm           Bb
But we don't know it, oh

        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?

Cm     Bb
In our hearts and hands

        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?

Cm     Ab           Bb Eb Bb
In the midst of everyday
[Bridge]
       Eb
Do do do do do do do do do

Gm       Ab          Eb
Do do do do do do do do do do

       Eb
Do do do do do do do do do

Gm       Ab          Eb
Do do do do do do do do do do
[Outro]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, the great cathedral looms behind us

        Eb
At the same time we stand up and then we go

           Bb7
Love and war's a holy passion, bricks and blood are all we fashion

         Eb
We don't fly but once were sparrows in the snow

Eb7
Once were sparrows in the snow

Eb
We are just sparrows in the snow
