(  Em     C  )
Twenty-eight days of rain... Flash floods in February

Back in our boats again... Bath water and the baby

What am I gonna do? There's been a lot of drinking

Looking at ghosts of you... While all the world is sinking...


(  G    Am    C  )   Bm
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere 

My body shakes... Is there a welcome here?


(  Bm    C  )    Am
Closest thing to heaven! How do you do it? 

Closest thing to heaven... heaven! 


(  Em     C  )
Throw your arms round the world... Make love your destination

Here we go boys and girls... Act like a generation

Gimme that ball and chain... By now it must be hurting

Dragging your feet again... Just like a beast of burden...


(  G    Am    C  )   Bm
When one and one, and one, and one make two...

I know I'm high because I've captured you... Yeah!
 

(  Bm    C  )    Am
Closest thing to heaven! Yeah, it's you!

Closest thing to heaven... Heaven!
 

(  F    G  )   A
Look the world right in the eye!!!

Eat the countries that are making billions...

Sweet as homemade apple pie!!!

Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions... Yeah!


(  C    Bm  )
Closest thing to heaven... Heaven...

Closest thing to heaven... Heaven...

(fade out...)
