[Bb] [F] [Gm]
[Eb] [G]
[Bb] On [Dm] an icy [Eb] road one night, [F] a young [Gm] man loses his life.
[Eb] They [F] mark the shoulder [Bb] with a cross,
[F] [Bb] and his [Eb] family gathers round.
[F] [D] On a [Gm] piece of hallowed [F] ground, [Eb] their hearts are heavy [Cm] with [Bb] their loss.
[F]
[Gm] [F] As the tears fall [Eb] from their
[F] eyes, [Gm] there's one [F] who [Eb] always [F] [Bb] sympathizes.
God only [A] [Dm] cries [Gm] for the living, [Bb] cause [Eb] it's the living [F] that are left to carry [Bb] [F] on.
[Bb] And all [F] the angels up [Gm] in heaven, [Bb] they're [Eb] not grieving, cause [Cm] [F] they're gone.
[Gm] There's a smile on their faces, [Bb] cause they're in a better place [Eb] than [Bb] they've ever [Cm] [D] [Eb] known.
[F] [Bb] God only [F] cries [Gm] for the living, [Bb] cause it's [Eb] the living [Bb] that are so [F] far [Bb] from home.
It [Eb] still makes me sad [F] when I [Eb] think of my granddad.
I miss [F] him each and [C] every [Gm] day.
[F] [Cm]
[Bb] But I [Eb] know the time will [F] come [D] when my [Gm] own [F] [Eb] grandson will wonder why I [F] went away.
[Gm] Maybe we're [F] not meant to [Eb] understand, [F] [Gm]
till we [F] meet up in the [Eb] promised
[F] land.
[Bb] God [F] only cries for [Gm] the living, [Bb] cause [Eb] it's the living [F] that are left to [Bb] carry on.
And [F] all the angels [Gm] up in heaven, [Bb]
[Eb] they're not grieving, cause [Bbm] they're gone.
[F] [Gm] There's a smile on their faces, [Bb] cause they're in a better place than [Eb] [Bb] they've ever [Cm] [Eb]
known.
[F] [Bb] God only [F] cries for [Gm] the [Bb] living, cause [Eb] it's the living [F] that are so [Gm] far from [Bb] home.
[Eb] [F] Yeah, we're so far from home.
