G                     A
I used to count the stars in the sky
D
Now I count the ones in your eyes
G                     A
I used to think that my paradise
D
Was somewhere waiting on the other side
     G        A
But you, ooh-ooh
         D
Take me higher than I've been
        Bm
Laying hands on my skin
       G        A
It's true, ooh-ooh
          Dsus4        D
Nothing compares to you.

Chorus:
             G                A
So tell me why, what good is life?
                   D                       Bm
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky
              G                   A
I'm already there, here in your eyes
              D          A/C#          Bm                G
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
            A                   D          A/C#           Bm
I rest in peace, they say it's better, but how could that be?
   A         G              A
If everyone had a love like us
               G                A
They wouldn't call that place above, "Heaven"

Waking up to you feels like a pinch-myself moment
If we're only here for a while, I wanna spend
All of it holding you, ooh-ooh
Take me higher than I've been
Got me questioning everything I knew, ooh-ooh
'Cause nothing compares to you

Chorus:
So tell me why, what good is life?
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky
I'm already there, here in your eyes
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
I rest in peace, they say it's better, but how could that be?
If everyone had a love like us
They wouldn't call that place above, "Heaven"

Bm              A                       D
Nothing comes, nothing comes close to this
                    G               Bm
Looking up, looking up even if it exists
    A                 Em
My Heaven is on your lips

Chorus:
So tell me why, what good is life?
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky
I'm already there, here in your eyes
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
I rest in peace, they say it's better, but how could that be?
If everyone had a love like us
They wouldn't call that place above, "Heaven"
