 Twenty eight days of rain, Flash floods in February,
 
 C                                                
 Back in our boats again, Bath water and the baby.
 
 Em2                                                 
 What am I gonna do ? There's been a lot of drinking,
 
 C                                                        
 Looking at ghosts of you, While all the world is sinking.
 
 
 G            A              C          
 Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere,

 My body shakes, Is there a welcome here ?

 Verse 2 (Repeat Verse 1 Chords) :
 
 Throw you arms round the world, Make love your destination,
 Here we go boys and girls, Act like a generation,
 Give me that ball and chain, By now it must be hurting
 Dragging your feet again,Just like a beast of burden.
 
 When one and one and one and one make two
 I know I'm high because I've captured you, yeah
 
 
 Refrain :
 
 Closest thing to heaven
 Yeah, it's you
 Closest thing to heaven, heaven

 Look the world right in the eye

 Eat the countries that are making billions
 
 F2                      G  
 Sweet as homemade apple pie
 
 A                                                  C(5) 
 Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah
