Verse 1

Twenty eight days of rain, Flash floods in February,

Back in our boats again, Bath water and the baby.

What am I gonna do ? There's been a lot of drinking,

Looking at ghosts of you, While all the world is sinking.

Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere,

My body shakes, Is there a welcome here ?

Refrain

Closest thing to heaven

How do you do it ?

Closest thing to heaven, heaven.

Verse 2

Repeat Verse 1 Chords) :

Throw you arms round the world, Make love your destination,

Here we go boys and girls, Act like a generation,

Give me that ball and chain, By now it must be hurting

Dragging your feet again,Just like a beast of burden.

When one and one and one and one make two

I know I'm high because I've captured you, yeah

Refrain

Closest thing to heaven

Yeah, it's you

Closest thing to heaven, heaven

Bridge

Look the world right in the eye

Eat the countries that are making billions

Sweet as homemade apple pie

Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah

Closest thing to heaven

Refrain

ad lib) :

Closest thing to heaven

How do you do it?

Closest thing to heaven

Hey!

Closest thing to heaven
