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

 [Chorus]
    F                                   C                    G
Can I just stay 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


[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.


[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
You'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


[Interlude]
C  Am  F
F  C  G
C  Am  F
F  C  G

[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


[Chorus]
    F                                    C            G
And I will close the door, and 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
