Visiting hours
C - D
G Em
1. I wish that heaven had visiting hours,
C C
G D
so I
could just show up and bring the news :
G Em
That she's getting older and I
wish that you'd met her,
C C G D
the
things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you.
C G D
Can we just talk a while and
we'll put all the world to rights ?
C G
D
The little ones will grow and
I'll still drink your favourite wine.
Em B7 G A7
And soon, they're going to
close, but I'll see you another day,
G D
- G - C - G
so
much has changed since you've been away.
G Em
2. Well, I wish that heaven had visiting hours,
C C G D
so I
could just swing by 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 C G D
What would you do? 'Cause you
always do what's right.
C G
D
Can we just talk a while until
my worries disappear ?
C G D
I'd tell you that I'm scared
of turning out a failure.
Em B7 G A7
He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in
the love that we create !"
G D
- G - C - G
So much has changed since
you've been away.

3. I wish that heaven had visiting hours.
C C G D
and I
would ask them if I could take you home.
G Em
But I know what they'd say,
that it's for the best,
C C G D
so I
would live life the way you told me and make it on my own.
C G
D
And I will close the door, but
I will open up my heart,
C G D
and
everyone I love will know exactly who you are.
Em B7 G A7
'Cause this is not goodbye, it
is just 'til we meet again,
G D
G - C - G
so
much has changed since you've been away.
