Intro: D G Bm A x5
D G D
I was looking thru the portholes out on Heaven.
G Em G
Wondering what the hell I am going to do.
D G D
When the minister walks in and speaks the word "11".
G Em G
Saying that there is nothing left to choose.
Em G Em G
What a stupid fool, let's send 'em back to school.
D G Bm A D
But it's alright, now, 'cause I'm in Heaven.
A G D
You don't need to express your admiration,
A G D A Bm
'cause holiness is something that you have or haven't got
D G A
and it can't be bought, no it can't be bought.
D G D
Someone oughta save me from salvation,
G Em G
someone oughta see the things I've done.
D G D
They never would have given me this strange vocation,
D G Em G
sitting in this happy, holy sun.
Em G Em G
I'm not the only one, who likes to get things done.
D G Bm A D
But it's alright now, 'cause I'm in Heaven.
A G D
I think I burned the dresses of all the angels.
A G D A Bm
Their plastic wings were all destroyed by just one dirty look
D G A
and that was all it took, that was all it took.
