Am
You're tuned to Dawn FM
G
The middle of nowhere on your dial
F
So sit back and unpack
You may be here a while
Am
Now that all future plans have been postponed
G
And it's time to look back on the things
you thought you owned
F
Do you remember them well?
Were you high or just stoned?
                      Am
And how many grudges did you take to your grave?
                           G
When you weren't liked or followed,
how did you behave?
                           F
Was it often a dissonant chord you were strumming?
                     F
Were you ever in tune with the song life was
humming?
    Am
If pain's living on when your body's long gone
           G
And your phantom regret hasn't let it go yet
         F
You may not have died in the way that you must
All specters are haunted by their own lack of trust
Am
When you're all out of time, there's nothing
but space
    G
No hunting, no gathering
No nations, no race
F
And Heaven is closer than those tears on your face
When the purple rain falls
            Am
We are all bathed in its grace
G                                    F
Heaven's for those who let go of regret
And you have to wait here when you're not
all there yet
         Am
But you could be there by the end of this song
           G
Where The Weeknd's so good and he plays
all week long
        F
Bang a gong, get it on
              Am
And if your broken heart's heavy when you
step on the scale
 G
You'll be lighter than air when they pull
back the veil
F
Consider the flowers, they don't try to look right
They just open their petals and turn to the light
Am
Are you listening real close?
          G
Heaven's not that, it's this
                        F
It's the depth of this moment
We don't reach for bliss, God knows life is chaos
                        Am
But He made one thing true
     G
You gotta unwind your mind
Train your soul to align
F                                           G
And dance 'til you find that divine boogaloo
Am            C/E
In other words
F                  C/E
You gotta be Heaven
Dm           C
To see Heaven
A#
May peace be with you
