(Verse)  
B              E               A  
City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning  
B                 E             A  
Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me  
B                                   E                    A  
He asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you."  
B                       E           A  
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...  



[Refrão]
 
B                           E        A  
Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo  
B                       E        A  
Hopin' no one notices my broken wings  
B                                        E          A  
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)  
B               E            A  
'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder  
B                             E                A  
Says, "are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?"  
B                               E                         A  
"Well, I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?"  
B                             E            A  
"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)  

B                D                A  
Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession  
B                            D           A  
I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine  
B                           D                   A  
Peter laughs and says, "Well, boy, haven't you noticed?  
B                         D                      A  
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)
