   Honey, I thought you should know

That I'm in a hurry
F#m             E/G#   A
   I've got to move up north
                   D    E
But it's just temporary
F#m            E/G#   A
I really tried not to lie
                         D    E
But this burdens getting heavy
F#m                     E/G#    A
No, you can't come with me this time

But Heaven's not too far away
                      E      A E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E
Can I please have one more minute?


Verse 2:
F#m                  E/G#    A
   No honey, I don't want to go
                  D     E
Just know that I have to
F#m                E/G#    A
   Look how the cancer has grown
                    D      E
I think it's time I go home
F#m                 E/G#      A
   Yes, I can still hear your voice
                    D   E
Sounds just like it did
F#m                E/G#      A
   And I can still feel your hand
                   D     A E
When it touches my skin


Chorus:
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                      E    A E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E    A E
Can I please have one more minute?
D             A
 I gave you life
                        E
Now you gotta watch it leave my
F#m E
eyes
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E
I know someday you'll visit


Bridge:
F#m                     D
   As death rattles my cage
A                          E
  I can hear their voices fading
F#m                     D
   Each breath getting harder
      A                              E
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
F#m                  D
   And to her older brother
      A                        E
He's thinking back when he was younger
F#m                       D
   When he had a healthy mother
    A                                    E
Who asked him to take care of his little brother


     F#m                 E/G#  A
And he's not really sure about life
        A                        E
Or that how could any of this be right
       F#m                          D
But I know my babies they will be fine
        A                    E
'Cause they can talk to me anytime


Chorus:
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                      E    A E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E    A E
Can I please have one more minute?
D             A
 I gave you life
                        E
Now you gotta watch it leave my
F#m E
eyes
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E
I know someday you'll visit


Outro:
F#m                 E/G#       A
   Honey, I thought you should know
               D    E
That I'm in a hurry
F#m             E/G#   A
   I've got to move up north
                   D    E
But it's just temporary
