Verse 1:
          B
I see the distant smoke across the waterway
           Gbm
I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear you say
               A
The words that never come when you need them most
            E
To dry your eyes out
           B
Is it your mother's tongue? Or your father's ghosts?
         Gbm
Remember sticks and stones and how they broke your bones
        A
Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned a lot
          E
When they hit you in the face, and you begged them all to stop
          B
Until you rose up again
        Gbm
And you tried your best to surrender
      A
Bowed down your head
         E
Then you looked up to the sky and said

Chorus:
    B
"My God, what a beautiful scene
      Gbm
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
A
God, what a beautiful scene
      E
Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

Instrumental: B Gbm A E

Verse 2:
          B
From underneath the dust, you see the curtain call
              Gbm
Can't bare to watch another generation stall
       A
To the hands of greed that will take it all
             E
And cut your heart out
        B
See the face in the shadow
       Gbm
Just a thread in the seams
         A
We'll be ghosts by tomorrow
       E
Just a day in a dream
           B
But you'll rise up again
           Gbm
And you'll fight against the surrender
   A
My friends, don't wait
     E
Just look up to the sky and say

Chorus:
    B
"My God, what a beautiful scene
                                A            A
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
B
God, what a beautiful scene
                                    A          A
Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven
B
God, what a beautiful scene
                                A            A
Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever
B
God, what a beautiful scene
                                    A          A       B
Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

Post-chorus:
B
Gateway to Heaven
          A          A      B
You're my gateway to Heaven
B                 A A
Gateway to Heaven        (Alright!)
