C Dm
Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line
Em Dm
Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind
C Dm
Calling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in pain
Em Dm
It hurts to see you go but darling don't you know we're so glad you came
[Chorus]
F C
And you'll stay gone a long, long time
G F
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Em F
Only a fool would want to stick around
C
When you're heaven bound
[Verse 2]
C Dm
Disconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from mind
Em Dm
So sad and blue, how'd you do, of course you did just fine
C Dm
So grab a tail on this big gray whale and do your best to stay brave
Em Dm
In that final hour he's just a beautiful flower that couldn't be saved
[Chorus]
F C
And you'll stay gone a long, long time
G F
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Em F
Only a fool would want to stick around
C
When you're heaven bound
[Bridge]
C Dm Em Dm
[Chorus]
F C
And you'll stay gone a long, long time
G F
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Em F
Only a fool would want to stick around
C
When you're heaven bound, heaven bound
