Tracy Lawrence – Heaven For A While (Guitar)

          D                         A
You know, someone told me once that angels don't exist

         C                              G     A
And that paradise was just a poor man's dream

D                         A
Without hesitation, I can say he was mistaken

            C                                G
'Cause I've wrapped my arms around celestial wings

G/F#    Em               D/F#              G                     G/F#
But for reasons we don't know, some aren't meant to be here long

    Em               D/F#                      A
And then one day the good Lord calls them home

    Bbm   Bm                       A
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny

         G              G/F#                  Em A
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

Bbm   Bm                          A
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

          G                    G/F#         Em
But I can go to the other side with a smile

       F#     G      A
'Cause I knew heaven for a while

          D                          A
The other day I took a drive to that place up on the hill

          C                                    G A
I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone

      D                                 A
And I sat there for some time with this runnin' through my mind

    C                                       G
How much we take for granted till it's gone

G/F#   Em             D/F#      G                 G/F#
Then I got back in my car and I slowly drove away

Em              D/F#              A
Knowing she was in a better place

    Bbm   Bm                       A
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny

         G              G/F#                  Em A
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

Bbm   Bm                          A
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

          G                    G/F#         Em
But I can go to the other side with a smile

       F#     G      A
'Cause I knew heaven for a while

    F     C         Eb      D
The world turns and seasons change

    Em             D/F#               G A
And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea

F     C       Eb     D
Tears dry and hearts heal

    Em               D/F#           A
And what is meant to be will always be ---

    Bbm   Bm                       A
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny

         G              G/F#                  Em A
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone

Bbm   Bm                          A
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face

          G                    G/F#         Em E
But I can go to the other side with a smile

       F#     G      A
'Cause I knew heaven

       Bm      A/F# Em E      G      A
I knew heaven, I knew heaven for a while
