πΈ Verse 1:
C Am
I wish that heaven, Had visiting hours.
F F C G
So I could just show up, And bring the news
C Am
That she's getting older, And I wish that you'd met her
F F C G
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
πΈ Chorus:
F C G
Can we just talk a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
F C G
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
Am G C F
And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day
C G C F C
So much has changed since you've been away
πΈ Verse 2:
C Am
Well, I wish that heaven, had visiting hours.
F F C G
So I could just swing by, And ask your advice
C Am
What would you do in my situation? I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them.
F F C G
What would you do? Cause you always do what's right.
πΈ Chorus:
F C G
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
F C G
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure.
Am G C F
He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
C G C F C
So much has changed since you've been away

πΈ Verse 3:
C Am
I wish that heaven, had visiting hours
F F C G
And I would ask them, If I could take you home.
C Am
But I know what they'd say, That it's for the best
F F C G
So I would live life the way you taught me, And make it on my own
πΈ Chorus:
F C G
And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
F C G
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
Am G C F
'Cause this is not goodbye; it is just 'til we meet again
C G C F C
So much has changed since you've been away
