G Em C D
[Strophe]
           G                    Em 
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
[Refrain]
      C                                  G                D 
(Can) I just stay 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
[Strophe]
                  G                   Em 
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
[Refrain]
      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

[Strophe]
            G                   Em 
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 
So I would live life the way you taught me 
            C  G  D 
And make it on my own
[Refrain]
    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 
       C               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
