[Intro] E  F#m7  E/G#  A9
        E  F#m7  E/G#  A9

             E      F#m7     E/G#
Well, i've heard a million times
    A9
In many songs and rhymes
           E    F#m7     E/G#              B4    B
I've witnessed arguments about how it will be
            E     F#m7  E/G#
Will it be every living eye
            A9
To see him coming in the sky
         C#m7        E/G#    F#m7              E
And what about the midnight cry, i hear them say

           E    F#m7       E/G#
Are the streets like I was told
          A9
Are they really made of gold
          E     F#m7   E/G#              B4    B
And will Jerusalem be built where it is now
               E   F#m7    E/G#
How can there be a crystal sea
       A9
If the sea has ceased to be
           C#m7     E/G#   F#m7               E
All these questions annoy me, i just don't care

                A9       B9
Cause i want to be there
                E
I just want to be there
     E/G#    C#m7 B/D#  E
And sit at my je-sus' feet
   E/G#     B4     B
I wanna be there
              C#m7 B/D#        E
I just don't care about the crown
        F#m E/G#     A9
Or the color of the gown
         C#m7    E/G#  F#m7              E
As long as jesus is in town i wanna be there

( E  F#m7  E/G )
( A  E/G#  B/D#  A9/B )
( E  F#m7  E/G#  F#/A#  F#m/A )
( E/G#  A9  E  F#/A# )
( A9  E/G# )

    A9                                                    B
I know there are things in this life that we can't understand
           B                    C#m7       E/G# A9
There are moments we tend to forget where we belong
                                                            B
Sure, there's time… yes, there's wealth in that beautiful place
                     C#m      E/G#    F#m7
But all i want is to see him face to face

                A9     B
I just want to be there
                E
I just want to be there
     E/G#    C#m7 B/D#  E
And sit at my je-sus' feet
   E/G#     B4     B
I wanna be there
              C#m7 B/D#        E
I just don't care about the crown
        F#m E/G#     A9
Or the color of the gown
         C#m7    E/G#  F#m7
As long as jesus is in town
         C#m7    E/G#  F#m7
As long as jesus is in town
         C#m7    E/G#  F#m7
As long as jesus is in town
              E
I wanna be there
