C                  F
I came by today to see you 
C                       F
Though I had to let you know
C              Am               F
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time,
          C            Am       G
I'd have held you and never let go
F                            C
Oh it's kept me awake nights wonderin'
Am                            C
Lie in the dark, just asking "why?"
F                    C                   Am                     G
I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time

        C                    F
I guess Heaven was needing a hero
Am           G       F     G
Somebody just like you
F                      C                 Am                        G
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through
       Am             C                F
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
    C       Am             F
The only conclusion I come to
        C          F         C    G    Am G F
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

C                          F
I remember the last time I saw you
C                         F
Oh you held your head up proud 
C                    Am                  F                     G
I laughed inside when I saw how you were, standing out in the crowd
Am        G            F
You're such a part of who I am
Am         G                F    G
Now that part will just be void
F                 C
No matter how much I need you now
Am                  G
Heaven needed you more

     C           F         C      G      Am G F
Yes, Heaven was needing a hero...that's you.
