Heaven Was Needing A Hero

C                  F
I came by today to see you 
C                       F
Though I had to let you know
C    Am                        F
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time,
C        Am                     G
I'd have held you and never let go
F                            C
Oh it's kept me awake nights wonderin'
Am                            C
Lie in the dark, just asking "why?"
     F                    C                                    G
I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time

        F                    C
I guess Heaven was needing a hero
         F         G
Somebody just like you
F               C                 Am                        G
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through
       Am             C                F
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
    C       Am             F
The only conclusion I come to
        C          F         C    F    C
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you

C                          F
I remember the last time I saw you
       C                 F
Oh you held your head up proud
C                       Am                F                   G
I laughed inside when I saw how you were, standing out in the crowd
Am                          F
You're such a part of who I am
Am                         C
Now that part will just be void
   F                 C
No matter how much I need you now
                  G
Heaven needed you more

       F                    C
'Cause Heaven was needing a hero
         F         G
Somebody just like you
F               C                 Am                        G
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through
       Am             C                F
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
    C       Am             F
The only conclusion I come to
        C          F         C    F    C
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you
                F         C      F      C
Yes, Heaven was needing a hero...that's you.
