Verse 1:
           Ab                    Fm
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
                Db           Db     Ab    Eb
So I could just show up and bring the news
                   Ab                           Fm
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
                       Db                         Db   Ab    Eb
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
 
Chorus:
    Db                                 Ab                Eb
Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
    Db                                    Ab                    Eb
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
    Fm                     C7                  Ab           Bb7
And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day
            Ab                    Eb         Ab Db Ab
So much has changed since you've been away

                  Ab                   Fm
Well, I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
                Db                Db    Ab Eb
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
               Ab
What would you do in my situation?
            Fm
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
               Db                     Db  Ab      Eb
What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right
 
Chorus:
    Db                             Ab            Eb
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
    Db                                   Ab        Eb
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
           Fm                C7              Ab              Bb7
He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the letter that we create"
            Ab                    Eb         Ab Db Ab
So much has changed since you've been away

            Ab                   Fm
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
            Db                   Db    Ab   Eb
And I would ask them if i could take you home
                Ab                             Fm
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
                Db
So I would live life the way you told me
            Db  Ab  Eb
And make it on my own

    Db                                 Ab          Eb
And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
    Db                           Ab             Eb
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
