verse 1
E C#m
i’ve been staring at this photograph
F#m B
it used to make me laugh – i believed that you would always live forever
E C#m
nothing’s been the same since you’ve been gone
F#m B
it’s hard to carry on – all i see is misery and cloudy weather
A B G#m F#m
sometimes i think i see your face in the crowd
chorus
E C#m
it’s too late for saying i love you
F#m B
it’s too late for saying goodbye
E C#m F#m B
the memories keep repeating , i’m losing my mind
C#m E A
i’d give anything just to hold you , it’s so hard to let you go
E F#m G#m A
all the way up , all the way up to heaven
E F#m G#m A
all the way up , all the way up to heaven

verse 2
E C#m
now i wake up with your voice in my head
F#m B
all the things you said – keep on playing spinning like a broken record
E C#m
and will this ever get easier
F#m B
i can’t go on like this anymore i thought we’d always be together
A B G#m F#m
it makes me wonder what it’s all about

all the way up , all the way up to heaven

bridge
F#m G#m
and the times you made me smile and the things you got me through
A B
i never thought that they would take you away from me so soon
