Fmadd6 E F#m B A Am E
[Verse 1]
E
There are moments in this life
B
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
A
And all the loved ones that are gone
Am
Friends and close relationships
E
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
Esus2 B
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]
E
Sometimes this tired old world
B
Starts bringing my heart down
A#add6
But you gotta bear the cross
A
If you wanna wear the crown
Am
I often get impatient
E
As Father Time keeps dragging on
F#dim F
I've waded through the darkness
Am E B
Now I'm ready for the dawn
G#m E B
I'm ready for the dawn

Oh Lord

I want to see heaven
B C#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
F#m E
In heaven
B C#m
Oh Lord
B A Am E
I want to see heaven
[Verse 3]
E
As I read the morning paper
B
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
A
Of a world that's dead in sin
Am
And the only sane conclusion
E
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Esus2 B
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
E
So I'm living every moment
B
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
A
And forget about the past
Am
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
E
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
Am E B
I'll be following my heart
G#m E B
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]

I want to see heaven

Oh Lord

I want to see heaven

Where the pain of sin is gone

In heaven

Oh Lord

I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
F#m
I've tried to go the distance
G#m7
But it's more than I can bear
A
They say there's no more crying
G#m
And no more dying there
A
I've held on to the promise
G#
Who so ever will believe
C#m
Will have life that's never ending
Ddim7
I believe
E F# G
I believe
[Chorus 3]
