Since you've gone to heaven

In that big house alone

Everybody says that Jimmy

Until he's had a few

He dropped outta college

To post his bail

The whole world's gone to hell
[Chorus 1]
Cadd9
And I hate you had to leave us

But glad you didn't live to see this

Broken pieces of the family you made

Mama's lookin' so much older

Guys you worked for thirty years with

There're signs on every storefront

Seems like everything's for sale
Em Em7
They say the market's bouncin' back

But it's sure hard to tell
Am D
Since you've gone to heaven
G
The whole world's gone to hell
[Chorus 2]
Cadd9
And I hate you had to leave us
Em7
But glad you didn't live to see this

The broken pieces of the Norman Rockwell days
Cadd9
The banks are takin' over

Half the town is in foreclosure
Am C D
I bet you're rollin' over in your grave
[Verse 4]
G
Since you've gone to heaven
A/F#
I've struggled with 'goodbye'
Em Em7 Cadd9
And broke a lot of promises I made the day you died
G
Wish I was more like you
A/F#
Less like myself
Em Em7
And I wish that I could talk to you
Cadd9
'Cause I could use your help
Am D
Since you've gone to heaven
G
The whole world's gone to hell
