Intro: BVerse:
BDA
City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning
BDA
Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me
BDA
He asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you."
BDA
Good deeds and halos not sure what I believe.
F#
He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you?
F#
How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm...
Chorus:
BDA
Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
BDA
Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
BDA
Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!
F#
I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me!
Repeat Intro:
Verse:
BDA
'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder
BDA
Says, "are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?"
BDA
"Well, I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?"
BDA
"I've always wondered what the fuss is all about."
F#
I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D.
F#
Tryin' to slip past the Authority! And now I'm...
Repeat Chorus:
BDA
Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession
BDA
I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine
BDA
Peter laughs and says, "Well, boy, haven't you noticed?
BDA
We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine!
F#
'Cause nobody's good enough, and up here we're all the same.
F#
We all get to heaven under Someone Else's name!"
Repeat Chorus: (x2)
