Em   C   G   D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Woke up 'cause the light poured in
C
Day two, let the flood begin
G
Day one left me in my bed (In my bed)
D
I can barely remember it
Em
Heart shattered in a thousand ways
C
They tell me pain gonna come in waves
G
They tell me I'm gonna be okay
D
I'm still waitin' for the first to break
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]

Why would You give and then take him away?
C
Suddenly end, could You not let it fade?
G
What I would give for a couple of days
D
A couple of days
 
 
[Chorus]
      Em
Is it just across the Jordan?
     C
Or a city in the stars?
        G
Are you singin' with the angels?
        D
Are you happy where you are?
        Em
Well, until this show is over
        C
And you run into my arms
G                 D
God has you in Heaven

But I have you in my heart
G             D
              I have you in my heart
Em   C   G   D
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
I just can't make sense of this
C
Everything is so dissonant
G
Somebody said he was meant for this
D
But I'm just straight missin' him
Em
I wanna wake up to your laugh at two
C
Catch you when you steal my shoes
G
Say good mornin', afternoon
D
Talk you through those "Alex blues" (Alex blues)
Em
Listen to your latest beats
C
Talk about what the lyrics mean
G
Venmo you another loan (Another loan)
D
See you do your second show
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
You said you'd turn, you would turn it around (Turn it around)
C
Thought that you had time to straighten it out (Straighten it out)
G
Told me that you were my prodigal son
D
But this isn't home
 
 
[Chorus]
      Em
Is it just across the Jordan?

Are you singin' with the angels?

Are you happy where you are?
        Em
Well, until this show is over
        C
And you run into my arms
G                D
God has you in Heaven
                     Em     C
But I have you in my heart

[Bridge]
Em                    C
Did he see You from a long way off (Did he see you?)
Em                    C
Runnin' to him with a father's heart? (Runnin' to him)
Em                    C
Did You wrap him up inside Your arms
            G              D
And let him know that he's home?
Em                    C
Did he see You from a long way off
Em                    C
Runnin' to him with a father's heart?
Em                    C
Did You wrap him up inside Your arms
            G              D
And let him know that he's home?

man this song made me cry the first couple times i heard, lately we've been having a lot of losses in our family. This song came out after our hardest loss. but God is with u through every loss and hardship. Just keep looking to him and he'll help you through everything.😉
