[Primeira Parte]

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

[Refrão]

    C                                     
Can I just stay a while and
            G                 D
We'll put all the world to rights?
     C                                     
The little ones will grow and
             G                   D
I'll still drink your favourite wine
      Em                    B                 
And soon they're going to close
              G           A
But I'll see you another day
             G
So much has changed
          D      G   C  G
Since you been away

[Segunda Parte]

               G          Em
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
                  C
So I could just swing by
        C    G   D
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
What would you do?
                   C   G     D
'Cause you always do what's right

[Refrão]

    C                                
Can we just talk a while
            G        D
Until my worries disappear?
    C                                   
I'd tell you that
                       G         D
I'm scared of turning out a failure
             Em            
You'd say remember that
       B            G             A
The answer in the love that we create
           G
So much has changed
          D      G   C G
Since you been away

( G  Em  C )
( C  G  D )
( G  Em  C )
( C  G  D )

[Terceira Parte]

               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
But I know what they'd say
                Em
That's for the best
                C
So I will live life the way you taught me
            C  G  D
And make it on my own

[Refrão Final]

    C                                
And I will close the door
             G          D
But I will open up my heart
    C
And everyone I love will know
  G              D
Exactly who you are
         Em            B                
'Cause this is not goodbye
             G            A
It is just till we meet again
            G
So much has changed
           D     G
Since you been away
