I was drivin’ – it was rainin’
Em7

On my way to bring her roses
G
G~B
D
When I got there – she wasn’t there alone
G
G~F~
Oh, it tore my world to pieces
Em7
C
To know we’d never be together
G

So I said “goodbye” – and headed off down the road
Em7

I couldn’t see for the tears and rain
Em7

Heard the crash and I felt the pain

And my life was over just like that
G
G~F~
But, I’m in a better place
Em7
C
No more tears on my face
Am
C
G
D
Up here above the coulds – I can see clearly, now
G

She was my reason for livin’
Em7

And after all the love I’ve given

Now she’s standing there cryin’
Em7

Like she’s dying to hold me
G

Too bad – she waited too late
G
G~F~
I spent most of my life
Em7
C
Just tryin’ to make her love me
G
G~B
D
Can’t believe what it took to finally make her look my way
Em7
G
The preacher man sends up a prayer
Em7
G
The organ music fills the air
Am
C~B
C
D
And the choir sings, as they carry me away
G
G~F~
But, I’m in a better place
Em7

No more tears on my face
