1Verse:
B1              D2               A3
2City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning
B4                 D5             A6
3Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me
B7                                   D8                    A9
4He asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you."
B10                       D11           A12
5Good deeds and halos not sure what I believe.
F#13
6He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you?
F#14
7How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm...

9Chorus:
B15                           D16        A17
10Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
B18                       D19        A20
11Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
B21                                        D22          A23
12Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!
F#24
13I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me!

B26               D27            A28
17'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder
B29                             D30                A31
18Says, "are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?"
B32                               D33                         A34
19"Well, I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?"
B35                             D36            A37
20"I've always wondered what the fuss is all about."
F#38
21I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D.
F#39
22Tryin' to slip past the Authority! And now I'm...

24Chorus:
B40                           D41        A42
25Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
B43                       D44        A45
26Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
B46                                        D47          A48
27Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!
F#49
28I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me!

B50                D51                A52
31Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession
B53                            D54           A55
32I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine
B56                           D57                   A58
33Peter laughs and says, "Well, boy, haven't you noticed?
B59                         D60                      A61
34We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine!
F#62
35'Cause nobody's good enough, and up here we're all the same.
F#63
36We all get to heaven under Someone Else's name!"

38Chorus -x2-:
B64                           D65        A66
39Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo
B67                       D68        A69
40Hopin' no one notices my broken wings
B70                                        D71          A72
41Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!
F#73
42I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me!
