There’s a jersey on the wall 
                 Am 
In a high school gym in my home town 
       F 
In the corner by the scoreboard 
          G 
Where the bleacher seats fold down 
       C 
twenty seven took the Tigers 
       Am 
to the finals that year 
    F                           G 
but that’s not why it’s hanging there
[Estribillo]
     C 
If I ever get to heaven 
                 Am 
You know I got a long list of questions 
     F 
like how do you make a snowflake? 
        G 
are you angry when the Earth quakes? 
             C 
how does the sky change in a minute? 
           Am 
how do you keep this big rock spinning? 
    Am               G        F 
Why can‘t you stop a car from  crashing? 
F                   G   C      Am F   G 
forgive me I’m just asking
[Estrofa]
      C 
I bet somewhere there‘s a yearbook 
     Am 
in a box under a bed 
       F 
with a senior picture missing 
          G 
in loving memory instead 
    C 
and somewhere there’s a mother 
    Am 
who stopped going to church 
           F 
cause your plan quit making sense 
             G 
Down here on   Earth

     C 
If I ever get to heaven 
                 Am 
You know I got a long list of questions 
     F 
like how do you make a snowflake? 
        G 
are you angry when the Earth quakes? 
             C 
how does the sky change in a minute? 
           Am 
how do you keep this big rock spinning? 
    Am                     G        F 
Why couldn’t you stop that car from   crashing 
    F                G    Am 
forgive me I’m just asking
[Puente]
   G         F 
oh I’m just saying 
          Am              G 
You don’t have to answer now 
       F 
oh but someday

     C 
If I ever get to heaven 
        Am 
I got a long list of questions 
         F 
like how do you make a snowflake? 
        G 
are you angry when the Earth quakes? 
             C 
how does the sky change in a minute? 
           Am 
how do you keep this big rock spinning? 
          Am 
if you’ve got your hands 
   G               F 
on everything that happens 
         Am                     G        F 
Then why couldn’t you stop that car from crashing? 
F                   G    C 
forgive me I’m just asking
[Outro]
    Am  F     G      C 
oh I’m just asking
