[Intro]
 G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4

[Verse 1]
             G
I wish that heaven
              Em7
Had visiting hours
                 Cadd9
So I could just show up
     Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And bring the news
                    G
That she's getting older
                       Em7
And I wish that you'd met her
                        Cadd9
The things that she'll learn from me
            Cadd9  G  Dsus4
I got them all  from you



[Chorus]
     Cadd9                             G                Dsus4
Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
     Cadd9                                G                    Dsus4
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
     Em                     Emmaj7/D#           Em7/D       Em6/C#
And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day
             G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away


[Verse 2]
                   G
Well, I wish that heaven
              Em7
Had visiting hours
                  Cadd9
So I could just swing by
         Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And ask your  advice
                G
What would you do in my situation?
             Em7
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
                Cadd9
What would you do?
                   Cadd9  G    Dsus4
'Cause you always do   what's right


[Chorus]
     Cadd9                         G          Dsus4
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
     Cadd9                               G        Dsus4
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
               Em              Emmaj7/D#       Em7/D        Em6/C#
You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
             G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away


[Interlude]
 G  Em7  Cadd9
Cadd9  G  Dsus4
G  Em7  Cadd9
Cadd9  G  Dsus4 


[Verse 3]
             G
I wish that heaven
              Em7
Had visiting hours
             Cadd9
And I would ask them
            Cadd9  G  Dsus4
If I could take  you home
                        G
But I know what they'd say
                   Em7
That it's for the best
                 Cadd9
So I would live life the way you taught me
             Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And make it on    my  own


[Chorus]
     Cadd9                             G          Dsus4
And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
     Cadd9                      G              Dsus4
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
        Em              Emmaj7/D#        Em7/D        Em6/C#
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
             G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away
