Just Like Heaven Guitar Chords
“Just Like Heaven“ is a song by English rock band The Cure, released as a single from their 1987 album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Written by singer Robert Smith and bassist Simon Gallup, the song is a romantic love song about a person‘s longing for the return of a lost love.
The song is considered one of The Cure‘s signature songs and has been praised by critics. The song‘s music video was directed by Tim Pope and received heavy rotation on MTV due to its surrealistic imagery. The song was released as a single in the US in October 1987 and peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, it peaked at number 33.
Musically, “Just Like Heaven“ is a mid–tempo pop rock song built on a jangling guitar hook and a drum track. Smith‘s lyrics describe a man‘s longing for the return of a lost love while the chorus features the line, “Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream“.

I [Bm]must have been [D]asleep for days

I [Bm]opened up m[D]y eyes
And [A]found myself a[E]lone alone
A[Bm]lone above [D]a raging sea
That [A]stole the only [E]girl I loved
And [Bm]drowned her deep [D]inside of me
Chorus
[F#m]You
[G]Soft and only
[F#m]You
