No Closer To Heaven Chords

(ver. 1)
The Wonder Years
              C               Em7
Digging up the bones of the failures I've buried
                       F          G
I'm pulling out my white flags in various stages
                 Dm
The sun bleached in gray
                  Am
Gonna sew them all together
                 Bb                F
Gonna fashion their bones into a frame
               G                        
Tie the flags on a string
                           F                    
Stretched across until they're wings
       Fm
I'm no closer to heaven


(Listen to the song for timing but this part is C Em7 F C G/B Am G )

         C              Em7 
I clipped a bird with my car on the freeway
            F
He won't see a burial
            G            Dm
And all week long I kept thinking of death
                         Bb                
How me and Hemingway share forehead scars
              F          G
I won't meet the same fate that he did
                    F
In a world that I can't fix
                  Fm
With a hammer in my grip

I'm no closer to heaven


               Am              Dm
It feels like the day before something important
                G       C    G/D
It feels like the first snow of the season that sticks
            Am       Dm
It's how I'll always feel like a failure
              G
In the back of my head
                      F*  (Hold this note)
No matter where I've been
                  Fm
The future feels bright


C   Em7
The glow of the city
                   F 
Out across the great plains
              G
With the closer I get
                Dm
The further I feel away
                    Am
I can stay here in the darkness
            Bb             F
Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days
               G
We never reach the gates
               F
I'll keep walking anyway
      Fm
I'm no closer to heaven
