[Verse 1]
B
There are moments in this life
F#
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
E
And all the loved ones that are gone
Em
Friends and close relationships
B
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
Bsus2 F#
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]
B
Sometimes this tired old world
F#
Starts bringing my heart down
A#add6
But you gotta bear the cross
E
If you wanna wear the crown
Em
I often get impatient
B
As Father Time keeps dragging on
F#dim F
I've waded through the darkness
Em B F#
Now I'm ready for the dawn
D#m B F#
I'm ready for the dawn
[Chorus 1]
E B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Where the faithful carry on
C#m B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Oh Lord
F# E B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
C#m B
In heaven
F# G#m
Oh Lord
F# E Em B
I want to see heaven
[Verse 3]
B
As I read the morning paper
F#
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
E
Of a world that's dead in sin
Em
And the only sane conclusion
B
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Bsus2 F#
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
B
So I'm living every moment
F#
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
E
And forget about the past
Em
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
B
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
Em B F#
I'll be following my heart
D#m B F#
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]
E B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Where the faithful carry on
C#m B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Oh Lord
F# E B
I want to see heaven
F# G#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
C#m B
In heaven
F# G#m
Oh Lord
F# E Em B
I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
C#m
I've tried to go the distance
D#m7
But it's more than I can bear
E
They say there's no more crying
D#m
And no more dying there
E
I've held on to the promise
D#
Who so ever will believe
G#m
Will have life that's never ending
Ddim7
I believe
B C# D
I believe
[Chorus 3]
