Guitar 1
*Chords are listed at end of song

Verse 1
          
You got a vision of some far off day

Beautiful and bright
           
Care hanging out of reach 

But always in your sight
           
There's an icon in your mind 

That stands for happiness one day
                 
A picture on some wall
     
Of a kingdom far away

Chorus
                      
Oh, it's closer than you think
                      
Oh, it's breathing in between 
                   
Oh, it's closer than you think
                     
Oh, it's right under your feet

Verse 2 - Same as Verse 1
The sky is much more blue
And the clouds are always white
Streets of course are gold
And always lit with rings of light
There's nothing on this earth
That is as good as up there
Life is so much better
When you're floating in the air

Chorus

Bridge
                 
Forget about your brother
                     
If he doesn't seem to understand
                               
That heaven you concocted in your head
                                                   
And never mind your sister when she asks you silly questions 
                                
About all the broken people left up there
                                   
Burning questions are better left for dead

Verse 3

Spend your life in a box

Looking through stained glass
              
Dream of better days
    
And hope they find you fast

Chorus

Outro
                                           
Oh, it's right under your feet
                     
Oh, it's right under your feet
