This Side of Heaven
Copyright July 25, 2010 Stan Loh

Verse 1
A Bb°
You were as honest as your lies,
Dbm D°
But I stayed because of our children,
D A
Now they’ve gone to find their own rainbows,
B7 E7
And just like them I will be gone too,
Chorus
E7 A
I’m on this side of heaven,
A Bb°
I’ll have my taste of freedom,
Dbm B7
And at last I’ll lose those chains that bound me,
D A
And at last, I’ll be the one who found me,
E A
Who found me, who found me,

Verse 2
A Bb°
I bought a pair of red sunglasses,
Dbm D°
To shield my eyes from the sunshine,
D A
For so long I’ve been living in shadows,
B7 E7
Now I learn to walk in the light,

Chorus
E7 A
I’m on this side of heaven,
A Bb°
I’ll have my taste of freedom,
Dbm B7
And at last I’ll lose those chains that bound me,
D A
And at last, I’ll be the one who found me,
E A
Who found me, who found me,

Bridge
E C E7 A
And I ain’t got that much to pack before I’m long gone,
A C E7 A
The taxi’s been booked for a quarter to one,
D
Don’t say a word, no more will be heard,
A
I don’t want you no more,
B7 E
The path you chose has lead to closed doors.

Verse 3
A Bb°
You split the family open wide,
Dbm D°
Even though our kids have said nothing
D A
But I know they’re hurting deep inside,
B7 E7
That’s what is worrying to me.

Chorus - Outro
E7 A
I’m on this side of heaven,
A Bb°
I’ll have my taste of freedom,
Dbm B7
And at last I’ll lose those chains that bound me,
D A
And at last, I’ll be the one who found me,
E A
Who found me, who found me,
E A
Who found me, who found me.
E A
Who found me, who found me.
