------------------------------------

(Heaven only knows...) 
      D         G
Oh, I know it's strange 
      Gm                       D
But I think that it's about to change 
          D7     G
So I'll take the chance 
       Gm                        D
To get back into the straight again


CHORUS:
 G      A         Bm 
Heaven only knows (I'm really on the level) 
G      A          Bm
Heaven only knows (I'm trying to find a way) 
G         A       Bm   
Am      G      
Heaven only knows 
(I'm walking down the straight & lonely road today) 

Bb   
(Again...)
(Heaven only knows...) 

      D            G
Now the sun will shine 
        Gm                     D
And I'm gonna work it out this time 
       D7      G
And before the light 
      Gm                     D
All I gotta take is one more night.


CHORUS:
 G      A         Bm 
Heaven only knows (I'm really on the level) 
G      A          Bm
Heaven only knows (I'm trying to find a way) 
G         A       Bm   
Am      G      
Heaven only knows 
(I'm walking down the straight & lonely road today) 

Bb   
(Again...)

Heaven only knows, heaven only knows 
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows 
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows 
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows 
Heaven only knows.
(Heaven only knows) 
D        G
As the hours go by 
      Gm          D
I can only wonder why 
        D7          G
You can change your mind 
        Gm               D
But you never change the price.


REPEAT CHORUS
     
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows 
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows.


CHORUS:
 G      A         Bm 
Heaven only knows (I'm really on the level) 
G      A          Bm
Heaven only knows (I'm trying to find a way) 
G         A       Bm   
Am      G      
Heaven only knows 
(I'm walking down the straight & lonely road today)
