     A                   E
You might believe in heaven,
   D                 A E
I would not care to say
    A                 E
For every star in heaven,
           D               A
There's a sad soul here today

 D                      Bm
Wake up in the morning with a good face
  E                    A
stare at the moon all day
 D                        Bm
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
     E            E7sus4
Does anyone care anyway?
    A                      E
For all the prayers in heaven
    D                   F A E D E7sus4 A
So much of life's this way

Chorus:
     A
     Did we leave our way behind us?
     Such a long, long way behind us?
     D
     Who knows when, now who knows where?
     A
     Where the light of day might find us?
     D7              A
     Look for the day.

Take heart, my friend, we love you
Though it seems like you're alone
A million lights above you
Smile down upon your home

Hurry put your troubles in a suitcase
Come let the new child play
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
I'm leaving here, I'm long away
For all the stars in heaven
I would not live, I could not live this way

Chorus:
     A
     Did we leave our way behind us?
     A
     Such a long, long way behind us?
     D
     Leave it for some hopeless lane
     A
     Such a long, long way
     Such a long, long way
     Such a long, long way
          D             F                     A
     I'm looking for, still looking for that day
