One day shinin' eight years old

when grandma passed away
        Asus   Am      A(add9) Am
I was a broken hearted little boy
        F G
blowin' out that birthday cake

C(add9) C            Cmaj7   C
How I cried when the sky let go
         Asus Am           A(add9) Am
with the cold and lonesome rain
F    Gsus                A(add9) Am
momma smiled said, don't be sad child
 F
grandma's watchin' you today

F      G       F            G        C
'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven
->      G                 C
and the tears are pouring down
       F       G          C
that's how you know she's watchin'
                  Gsus        G
wishin' she could be here now
      F       G         C

       F      G       Am   G
just remember she can see

there's holes in the floor of heaven

and she's watchin' over you and me

nothin' stays the same

I grew up, fell in love

met a girl who took my name

Year by year we made a life
        Asus   Am     A(add9) Am
in this sleepy little town

I thought we'd grow old together

there's holes in the floor of heaven
