[Intro]
C Am F G
[Verse]
C
There’s a jersey on the wall
Am
In a high school gym in my home town
F
In the corner by the scoreboard
G
Where the bleacher seats fold down
C
twenty seven took the tigers
Am
to the finals that year
F G
but that’s not why it’s hanging there
[Chorus]
C
If I ever get to heaven
Am
You know I got a long list of questions
F
like how do you make a snowflake
G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
C
how does the sky change in a minute
Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
Am G F
Why can‘t you stop a car from crashing
F G C
forgive me I’m just asking
[Verse]
C
I bet somewhere there‘s a yearbook
Am
in a box under a bed
F
with a senior picture missing
G
in loving memory instead
C
and somewhere there’s a mother
Am
who stopped going to church
F
cause your plan quit making sense
G
Down here on Earth
[Chorus]
C
If I ever get to heaven
Am
you know I got a long list of questions
F
Like how do you make a snowflake
G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
C
how does the sky change in a minute
Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
Am G F
Why couldn’t you stop that car from crashing
F G Am
forgive me I’m just asking
[Bridge]
F
oh I’m just saying
C G
You don’t have to answer now
F
oh but someday
[Chorus]
C
if I ever get to heaven
Am
I got a long list of questions
F
Like how do you make a snowflake
G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
C
how does the sky change in a minute
Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
Am
if you’ve got your hands
G F
on everything that happens
Am G F
Then why couldn’t you stop that car fron crashing
F G C
forgive me I’m just asking
[Outro]
Am F G C
oh I’m just asking
