G
I wish that heaven
            Em
Had visiting hours
      C9
So I could just show up
    C9     G    D4
And bring the news
        G
That she's getting older
                    Em
And I wish that you'd met her
                       C9
The things that she'll learn from me
           C9    G   D4
I got them all from you

   C9               
Can I just stay a while
               G               D4
And we'll put all the world to rights?
       C9    
The little ones will grow
              G                     D4
And I'll still drink your favourite wine
  E5                      D#5+
And soon, they're going to close
             D6         C#7
But I'll see you another day
          G                       D4
So much has changed since you've been away

( G  C9  G )

      G
Well, I wish that heaven
         Em
Had visiting hours
             C9
So I could just swing by
         C9  G  D4
And ask your advice
              G
What would you do in my situation?
               Em
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
              C9
What would you do?
                  C9     G      D4
'Cause you always do what's right

                  C9
Can we just talk a while
          G          D4
Until my worries disappear?
     C9
I'd tell you that I'm scared
  G              D4
Of turning out a failure
          E5                  D#5+    
He'd say "Remember that the answer's
      D6             C#7
In the love that we create"
            G               D4             
So much has changed since you've been away

( G  Em  C9  G  D4 )
( G  Em  C9  G  D4 )
( G  C9  G )

  G
I wish that heaven
            Em
Had visiting hours
           C9
And I would ask them
           C9   G    D4
If I could take you home
                      G
But I know what they'd say
                 Em
That it's for the best
                  C9         
So I would live life the way you taught me
            C9  G  D4
And make it on my own

    C9                           
And I will close the door
           G             D4
But I will open up my heart
          C9
And everyone I love will know
G               D4
Exactly who you are
        E5           D#5+
'Cause this is not goodbye
            D6           C#7
It is just till we meet again
             G                   D4
So much has changed since you've been away
