You're way too hard on yourself baby

You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black

                         F/C
But like Icarus and like Saul

You got

             Am/C
Too close to heaven

            F/C
That's all

                G                          G/D Am/C
I've got spaces way down deep inside of me

And roll yourself into a ball

                           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
