David was a boy, just a letch, 
E                        B  A  E 
A simple means of birth, oh so sick, 
E                    A    B E 
Another wasted life, many before, 
E                        B  A 
But David wanted better, so much more 

A                              E

Gonna get to heaven tonight

The promise of heaven out of reach. 
E                    B    A   E 
With expectations he couldn't meet 
E                        A    B   E 
But David found a way to jump the line 
E                B    A E 
A back door in a life divine,

Death comes swiftly, for those who wait, 
A                                F#               B 
But he's just like the rest of us, an impatient ingrate
