Closer To Heaven

Alarm, alarm
My fears go arm in arm
To the army at war with love
And one day, the hero
And one day, the foe
Forgiveness tied in yellow 'round the old oak tree

Turn and take disbelief
Turning into stone
While the century retɾeats
To the memory ɾepeated in a futuristic world

I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
Shimmering mirage
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

There was [Am7]a flicker in the overhanging night
And all [Em]the life I'd hidden
Seven maids a-milking
In a dream of white tɾees
On the back of the fires' poison [C7]light

I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
Shimmering mirage
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven (to [C7]heaven)
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
Shimmering mirage (ah)
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven (ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
I get a little bit closer to [C7]heaven
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

Like hunger
Like a lesson
Like this must be [Am]obsession
Shimmering mirage

Upon [C7]my [A]face a smile
Just a tɾace, all [Em]the while
Thoughts of wasteful waters flow
Alarm, alarm, my [A]fears go on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]and [Bm]on
