[F#] One Sunday morning after [C#] church, the preacher was shaking hands.
A [D#m] little boy walked up and said,
Can I [B] please talk to your preacher man?
[F#] He said, My daddy left my mama and me, [C#] and it's been a couple years.
[D#m] And my mama's boyfriend don't like me much, [B] especially after a couple of beers.
[F#] Sometimes when he hits me, [C#] I close my eyes real tight,
[D#m] And I wish that place you always talk about [B] was real with all my might.
Is heaven [F#] real?
_ [C#] I can't wait to go there, [D#m] I can't wait to know how heaven [B] _ feels.
Is there [F#] a place _ [C#] where there's no more pain or dying,
[D#m] No more need for crying,
Cause I [B] can't wait to settle on a [F#] real place.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] Well, the preacher man didn't know what to say,
[C#] And before the little boy turned and walked away,
[D#m] The preacher said, Son, would you like [B] to pray? _ _
[F#] Right there the little boy hit his knees,
[C#] And he cried out, Lord, help me please,
[D#m] Cause I don't know how much more pain I [B] can take. _
[F#] And he looked up with him tears in his eyes,
[C#] He said, Preacher man, I don't want to die,
[D#m] But I just want to know if there's a better [B] _ place.
Is heaven [F#] _ real?
[C#] I can't wait to go there, [D#m] I can't wait to know how heaven [B] _ feels.
Is there [F#] a _ place where [C#] there's no more pain or dying,
[D#m] No more need for crying,
Cause I [B] can't wait to settle on a real place.
[F#] Later on past midnight,
[C#] The preacher man got a call,
Little [D#m] boy's in the hospital doing bad,
And her mama's [B] boyfriend's running from the law.
[F#] When the preacher walked in the boy's hospital room,
[C#] The little boy whispered, Can you see him too?
[D#m] There's an angel standing right beside you, preacher [B] man.
Now I know [F#] heaven's _ real,
[C#] I can't wait to get there, [D#m] I can't wait to know how heaven [B] feels.
I'm going to [F#] a place where [C#] there's no more pain or [D#m] dying,
Preacher man, why are you crying?
Cause I [B] can't wait to settle on a real [F#] place.
_ Now [C#] I know heaven's a real [D#m] place, _ _ [B] _ _ heaven's a real place. _ _ _ _ _ _
