Dm   C F
Heaven
C          Dm C F C
Give me a sign
Dm    C F
Waiting
C                Dm C F C
For the sun to shine

Pleasure
fills up my dreams
And I love it
Like a baby screams

Its so useless
How can you be proud
When you're sinking
Into the ground

Into the ground
fills up my dreams
And I love it
Like a baby screams

Chorus:
Am       F        G        C
Couldn't ask for more you said
Am      F          G
Take it all and strike me,
   C          Dm       C F
strike me, strike me dead
   C          Dm       C F
Strike me, strike me dead

Waiting again, waiting like I waited before
Waiting again, waiting here for nothing at all
Heaven fills up my dreams
And I love it, like a baby screams

Chorus:
Couldn't ask for more, you said
Couldn't ever let it end
Take it all, take it all
Then strike me, strike me,
strike me, strike me
Strike me dead
Strike me, strike me dead
Strike me, strike me dead

Strike me, strike me, strike me dead

Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
