Intro

Verse 1:
D D/Db A Em7 G
You said when you die that you’d walk with me every day.
D D/Db A Em7 G
Then I start to cry and say please don’t talk that way.
D D/Db A Em7 G
With a blink of an eye the lord came and asked you to leave.
D D/Db A Em7 G
You went to a better place but it stole you away from me.
D D/Db A Em7 G
And now she lives in heaven
D D/Db A Em7.
But I know they let her out.

To take care of me

Chorus:
G D G D
There’s a strange kind of light, caressing me tonight.
G D C C/G A
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.


Intro

Verse 2:
I miss your love, I miss your touch, but I’m feeling you every day.
And I can almost hear you say ‘You’ve come a long way baby’.
And now you live in heaven.
But I know they let you out.

To take care of me

Chorus:
There’s a strange kind of light, in my bedroom tonight.
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.


Middle 8:
Bm A Em F#m – F#
You taught me kings and queens, whilst stroking my head.
Bm A Em F#m – F#
And in my darkest dark, I know you are there.
Bm A Em F#m – F#
Leaning down besides me, whispering my prayers.


Chorus:
There’s a strange kind of light, caressing me tonight.
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.

G D G D
The next time that we meet, I will bow at her feet.
G D C – C/G A
You’ll say ‘Wasn’t life sweet when we were there, to take heaven down there!’

It's about grief, pure and simple.

This is one of the most honest songs ever written. It is simple, true and beautiful. People can write songs and sing them, but it is more like we have taken a page out of the Robbie Williams Diary.

I love this song so much, its about even although someone has passed away they will awlays be with you looking out for you. "And now she lives in heaven But I know they let her out To take care of me" I also think its about someone who has been ill, they are here suffering and as much as he dosent want her to go on suffering and she would be better dead, he at the same time wants her here with him, but knows that heaven is better for her as the suffering has ended for her. "You went to a better place but He stole you away from me" There is so much in the song that most people could relate to it in some way or another and its a very peacful way of saying goodbye and that we will be together again soon :)
