Verse 1
G
You got a vision of some far off day
Beautiful and bright
Dm F
Care hanging out of reach
Am
But always in your sight
G
There's an icon in your mind
That stands for happiness one day
Dm F
A picture on some wall
Am
Of a kingdom far away
Chorus
D Dsus4 D Am
Oh, it's closer than you think
Cadd9 Em7 G
Oh, it's breathing in between
D Dsus4 D Am
Oh, it's closer than you think
Cadd9 G
Oh, it's right under your feet
Verse 2 - Same as Verse 1
The sky is much more blue
And the clouds are always white
Streets of course are gold
And always lit with rings of light
There's nothing on this earth
That is as good as up there
Life is so much better
When you're floating in the air
Chorus
Bridge
C G
Forget about your brother
D Am
If he doesn't seem to understand
C Em7 D
That heaven you concocted in your head
C G D Am
And never mind your sister when she asks you silly questions
C Em7 D
About all the broken people left up there
C Em7 D
Burning questions are better left for dead
Verse 3
G
Spend your life in a box
Looking through stained glass
Dm F
Dream of better days
Am
And hope they find you fast
Chorus
Outro
Cadd9 Em7
Oh, it's right under your feet
Cadd9 G
Oh, it's right under your feet
