G Em C D


[Verse 1]
           G                    Em
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
                C           C     G    D
So I could just show up and bring the news
                   G                           Em
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
                       C                         C   G    D
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you


[Chorus]
      C                                  G                D
(Can) I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
    C                                    G                    D
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
    Em                     B7                  G           A7
And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day
            G                    D         G C G
So much has changed since you've been away


[Verse 2]
                  G                   Em
Well, I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
                C                C    G D
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
               G
What would you do in my situation?
            Em
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
               C                     C  G      D
What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right


[Chorus]
      C                              G            D
(Can) we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
    C                                   G        D
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
             Em              B7              G               A7
He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
            G                    D         G C G
So much has changed since you've been away

[Verse 3]
            G                   Em
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
            C                   C    G   D
And I would ask them if I could take you home
                G                             Em
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
                C
So I would live life the way you taught me
            C  G  D
And make it on my own


[Chorus]
    C                                 G          D
And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
    C                           G             D
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
       C               B7               G            A7
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
            G                    D         G   C   G
So much has changed since you've been away
