Intro

Verse 1:
       D         D/Db            A             Em7                G
You said when you die that you’d walk with me every day.
       D       D/Db            A               Em7                G
Then I start to cry and say please don’t talk that way.
        D           D/Db           A                  Em7         G
With a blink of an eye the lord came and asked you to leave.
        D          D/Db           A              Em7              G
You went to a better place but it stole you away from me.
    D  D/Db   A      Em7   G
And now she lives in heaven
     D   D/Db    A    Em7.
But I know they let her out.

To take care of me

Chorus:
G                        D     G                D
There’s a strange kind of light, caressing me tonight.
G                   D           C           C/G           A
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.


Intro

Verse 2:
I miss your love, I miss your touch, but I’m feeling you every day.
And I can almost hear you say 'You’ve come a long way baby’.
And now you live in heaven.
But I know they let you out.

To take care of me

Chorus:
There’s a strange kind of light, in my bedroom tonight.
 Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.


Middle 8:
Bm                            A        Em          F#m – F#
You taught me kings and queens, whilst stroking my head.
Bm                    A     Em         F#m – F#
And in my darkest dark, I know you are there.
Bm                    A  Em             F#m – F#
Leaning down besides me, whispering my prayers.


Chorus:
There’s a strange kind of light, caressing me tonight.
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.

G                        D       G              D
The next time that we meet, I will bow at her feet.
G                          D               C – C/G                     A
You’ll say 'Wasn’t life sweet when we were there, to take heaven down there!’
