Well, it's been real nice living way up here
       E              B    A
In paradise, over the atmosphere
                 C#m                  F#m
But I can't stay long, gotta make my way
            A     B     E                  E B A/ E B A
I'm leaving Hea - ven today
 
                     E           B       A
You see the world is dark and it needs a light
                 E           B       A
I'm gonna hang a star in the eastern sky
                     C#m                 F#m
So everybody's gonna know where I touch down

I'm leaving Hea - ven right now
 
          A     E          B      E
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth
        A        E          B
Trading in these streets of gold
          A    E      B               E
So if you ever wonder how much you're worth
           F#m
You should know
     A          E      A       B       E       E B A, E B A
That you're the reason why I'm leaving Heaven
 
                  E                    B     A
Ain't gonna be no kingdom, ain't gonna be no crown
                  E            B          A
Just a little old manger, in a little old town
                  C#m                   F#m
But it'll do just fine for this humble King
            A          B              E
I'm leaving Heaven let all the angels sing
 
          A     E          B      E
I'm gonna walk around that broken Earth
        A        E          B

            E          B     A
And when my time comes to an end
                 E           B      A
I'll lay down my life like a truest friend
                    C#m                        F#m
And when I get back home, I'm gonna make some room
              A                 B               E
So, don't you worry, 'cause I'm coming back for you
