ALL THE WAY UP

INTRO:E F#m Abm A

VERSE 1
E                         C#m
I've been staring at this photograph  
                               F#m                           B
It used to make me laugh - I believed that you would always live forever
E                               C#m
Nothing's been the same since you've been gone
                              F#m                B
It's hard to carry on - all I see is misery and cloudy weather
A            B                Abm         F#m
Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd
CHORUS
E                              C#m
It's too late for saying I love you
         F#m                 B
It's too late for saying goodbye
E                      C#m                 F#m      B
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
C#m                       E                 A
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
E               F#m               Abm     A
All the way up, all the way up to heaven
E               F#m               Abm     A
All the way up, all the way up to heaven
 
VERSE 2
E                       C#m
Now I wake up with your voice in my head
                                     F#m                  B
All the things you said - keep on playing spinning like a broken record
E                      C#m
And will this ever get easier 
                           F#m                        B
I can't go on like this anymore I thought we'd always be together
A           B                Abm     F#m
It makes me wonder what it's all about

CHORUS
E                              C#m
It's too late for saying I love you
         F#m                 B
It's too late for saying goodbye
E                      C#m                 F#m      B
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
C#m                       E                 A
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
E               F#m               Abm     A
All the way up, all the way up to heaven
E               F#m               Abm     A
All the way up, all the way up to heaven

BRIDGE
        F#m                             Abm
And the times you made me smile and the things you got me through
        A                                B
I never thought that they would take you away from me so soon
       F#m                          Abm
I've run out of tears to cry and my heart is on the mend
      A                               B
But I think it's gonna be a while 'til I can feel again oh yeah

It's too late for saying goodbye
E                      C#m                 F#m      B
