Verse 1:
            G
I wish that heaven
             Em7
Had visiting hours
                Cadd9
So I could just show up
    Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And bring the news
                   G
That she's getting older
                      Em7
And I wish that you'd met her
                       Cadd9
The things that she'll learn from me
           Cadd9  G  Dsus4
I got them all  from you
 
Chorus:
    Cadd9                          G                    Dsus4
Can we just talk a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
    Cadd9                                G                    Dsus4
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
    Em                     xEmmaj7x             Em7         Em6   
And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day
            G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away
 
Verse 2:
                  G
Well, I wish that heaven
             Em7
Had visiting hours
                 Cadd9
So I could just swing by
        Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And ask your  advice
               G
What would you do in my situation?
            Em7
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
               Cadd9
What would you do?
                  Cadd9  G    Dsus4
'Cause you always do   what's right
 
Chorus:
    Cadd9                         G          Dsus4
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
    Cadd9                               G        Dsus4
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
             Em              xEmmaj7x         Em7          Em6   
He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
            G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away
 
Interlude:
G  Em7  Cadd9
Cadd9  G  Dsus4
G  Em7  Cadd9
Cadd9  G  Dsus4
 
Verse 3:
            G
I wish that heaven
             Em7
Had visiting hours
            Cadd9
And I would ask them
           Cadd9  G  Dsus4
If I could take  you home
                       G
But I know what they'd say
                  Em7
That it's for the best
                Cadd9
So I would live life the way you told me
            Cadd9  G  Dsus4
And make it on    my  own
 
Chorus:
    Cadd9                             G          Dsus4
And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
    Cadd9                      G              Dsus4
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
       Em              xEmmaj7x          Em7          Em6   
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
            G                    Dsus4  G  Cadd9  G
So much has changed since you've been away
