[Verse]
 
F
One Sunday morning after church
    C
The preacher was shaking hands
         Dm
A little boy walked up and said
             Bb
Can I please talk to you, preacher man
F
He said, My daddy left my mama and me
C
And it's been a couple years
       Dm
And my mama's boyfriend don't like me much
           Bb
Especially after a couple of beers
F                               C
Sometimes when he hits me and I close my eyes real tight
      Dm
And I wish that place you always talk about
    Bb
Was real with all my might
 
[Chorus]
 
          F
Is Heaven real?
      C
Cause I can't wait to go [I can't wait to go]
Dm                              Bb
I can't wait to know how Heaven feels [How Heaven feels]
           F
Is there a place
              C
Where there's no more pain or dyin' [No more pain or dyin']
Dm                                    Bb
No more need for cryin' cause I can't wait ['Cause I can't wait]
                 F      C     Dm     Bb
Is Heaven a real place?
 
[Verse]
 
              F
And well, the preacher man didn't know what to say
    C
And before the little boy turned and walked away
Dm                                        Bb
The preacher said, Son, would you like to pray
F
Right then the little boy hit his knees
C
And he cried out, Lord, help me please
Dm                                          Bb
Cause I don't know how much more pain I can take
F
And he looked up with them tears in his eyes
C
And he said, Preacher man, I don't wanna die
    Dm                                    Bb
But I just wanna know if there's a better place
 
[Chorus]
 
          F
Is Heaven real?
      C
Cause I can't wait to go [I can't wait to go]
Dm                              Bb
I can't wait to know how Heaven feels [How Heaven feels]
           F
Is there a place
              C
Where there's no more pain or dyin' [No more pain or dyin']
Dm                                    Bb
No more need for cryin' cause I can't wait [Cause I can't wait]
                 F
Is Heaven a real place?
 
[Verse]
 
F
Later on past midnight
C
The preacher man got a call
             Dm
Little boy's in a hospital doin' bad
                  Bb
And the mama's boyfriend's runnin' from the law
         F
When the preacher walked in the boy's hospital room
    C
The little boy whispered, Can you see him too?
           Dm
There's an angel standin' right beside you, preacher man
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb                  F
Now I know Heaven's real
    C
And I can't wait to get there [I can't wait to get there]
Dm                              Bb
I can't wait to know how Heaven feels [How Heaven feels]
               F
I'm going to a place
              C
Where there's no more pain or dyin' [No more pain or dyin']
Dm
Preacher man, why you cryin'
              Bb
Cause I can't wait [Cause I can't wait]
                      F
Cause Heaven's a real place
      C                    Dm
Now I know Heaven's a real place
Bb
Heaven's a real place
