Intro: D Verse: D Em A7 D Harvey Bodine died at 11:09 and he left behind a miserable wife Em But at 11:14, his heart came back on the screen A7 D Thanks to that defib machine, he came back to life G D/F# A7 G D/F# A7 Oh, but those five minutes were Heaven, a peace unlike he'd ever known G D/F# E7 (Bm) And as he came back to the living E7 G A D He thought, please God, don't make me go - back to life D Em Verse: D Em When they told him what happened, how that green line had flattened A7 D Ol' Harvey just started laughing, he said you're telling me I died D Aw, and he thought about that woman, how she treated him for years Em All the yelling and the screaming and the naggin' and the tears A7 D And the way it wasn't really all that bad when he lost his life G D/F# A7 G D/F# A7 Because those five minutes were Heaven, a peace unlike he'd ever known G D/F# E7 Bm E7 G And now he was back with the living and he found himself reaching for the phone Bridge: A Bm And he called his lawyer, he called his priest E7 A And told them 'bout how they'd restarted his heart Bm E7 A Bm7 A And how his wedding vows were technically 'til death do us part G A7 G D A7 You'll probably judge me and so be it, but you know boys, here's how I see it Verse: D Em A7 D Harvey Bodine died at 11:09 and he left behind a miserable wife Em But at 11:14, my heart came back on that screen A7 D Thanks to that defib machine, I've come back to life
