CHRONOLOGY:
INTRO:
VERSE I: F6 Bb6
Who [Bb6]knows, maybe there [F6]isn't, a [Bb6]vein of stars calling
out my [F6]name. No [Bb6]glow from a[F6]bove our heads, [Bb6]nothing there
to send you down on your [F6]knees.
[Gm]Mmmmmmmmmm...[Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
VERSE II:
Twenty-[Bb6]five, twenty-six, twenty-[F6]seven, [Bb6]off in the future
maybe there ain't no h[F6]eaven. It's just [Bb6]you and me and maybe
it's just as [F6]well. And if there [Bb6]ain't no heaven, maybe
there ain't no [F6]hell.
INTERLUDE:

calling out my [F6]name
