              Verse 1): 
 
Am      C               F         G 
She was lost in so many different ways 
 
       F        C            Dm - G 
Out in the darkness with no guide 
 
Am       C         F        G 
I know the cost of a losing hand 
 
          F        C 
Never for the grace of God 
 
    F - G 
Oh, I 
 
 
 
(Chorus): 
 
        Am  
I found Heaven on Earth 
 
        Dm         G         
You were my last, my first 
 
     Am       F     G 
And then hear this voice inside 
 
Am  G - C 
Ave Maria 
 
 
 
(Verse 2): 
 
Am      C 
I've been alone 
 
     F           G 
When I'm surrounded by friends 
 
          F          C     Dm - G 
How could the silence be so loud 
 
      Am       C             F      G 
But I still go home knowing that I've got you 
 
         F         C       F - G 
There's only us when the lights go down 
 
 
 
(Chorus): 
 
           Am  
You are my Heaven on Earth 
 
        Dm           G         
You were my hunger, my thirst 
 
     Am       F     G 
And then hear this voice inside 
 
        Am  G - C 
singing Ave Maria 
 
 
 
(Bridge) 
 
Am                     G        F 
Sometimes love can come and pass you by 
 
           Am            G 
While your busy making plans 
 
Am                           G - F 
Suddenly hit you and then you realize 
 
             Am          F     G 
It's out of your hands, baby you got to understand 
 
 
 
(Chorus): 
 
           Am  
you are my Heaven on Earth 
 
        Dm         G         
You were my last, my first 
 
     Am       F     G 
And then hear this voice inside 
 
Am  G - C 
Ave Maria 
 
Am  G - C 
Ave Maria 
 
Am  G - C 
Ave Maria
