VERSE I: F6 Bb6
Bb6 F6 Bb6
Who knows, maybe there isn't, a vein of stars calling

to send you down on your knees.
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Mmmmmmmmmm...
VERSE II:
Bb6 F6 Bb6
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, off in the future
F6 Bb6
maybe there ain't no heaven. It's just you and me and maybe
F6 Bb6
it's just as well. And if there ain't no heaven, maybe
F6
there ain't no hell.
