(Intro)
D
(Verse)
DEmA7D
Harvey Bodine died at 11:09 and he left behind a miserable wife
Em
But at 11:14, his heart came back on the screen
A7D
Thanks to that defib machine, he came back to life
(Chorus)
GD/F#A7GD/F#A7
Oh, but those five minutes were Heaven, a peace unlike he'd ever known
GD/F#E7 (Bm)
And as he came back to the living
E7GAD
He thought, please God, don't make me go - back to life
D - Em
(Verse)
DEm
When they told him what happened, how that green line had flattened
A7D
Ol' Harvey just started laughing, he said you're telling me I died
D
Aw, and he thought about that woman, how she treated him for years
Em
All the yelling and the screaming and the naggin' and the tears
A7D
And the way it wasn't really all that bad when he lost his life
(Chorus)
GD/F#A7GD/F#A7
Because those five minutes were Heaven, a peace unlike he'd ever known
GD/F#E7BmE7G
And now he was back with the living and he found himself reaching for the phone
(Bridge)
ABm
And he called his lawyer, he called his priest
E7A
And told them 'bout how they'd restarted his heart
BmE7ABm7A
And how his wedding vows were technically 'til death do us part
GA7GDA7
You'll probably judge me and so be it, but you know boys, here's how I see it
(Verse)
DEmA7D
Harvey Bodine died at 11:09 and he left behind a miserable wife
Em
But at 11:14, my heart came back on that screen
A7D
Thanks to that defib machine, I've come back to life
