[Intro]
F#m E A Dsus2/F# E
[Verse 1]
F#m E A
Honey, I thought you should know
Dsus2/F# E
That I’m in a hurry
F#m E A
I’ve got to move up north
Dsus2/F# E
But it’s just temporary
F#m E A
I really tried not to lie
Dsus2/F# E
But this burdens getting heavy
F#m E A
No, you can’t come with me this time
Dsus2/F# E
You got your own destiny, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E A Dsus2/F# E
When I look at you I see your beauty
F#m E A Dsus2/F# F#m E
Now my baby boy he’s gonna lose me
[Chorus]
Dsus2/F# A
But Heaven’s not too far away
E F#m E
I know someday you’ll visit
Dsus2/F# A
And I didn’t think it’d go this way
E
Can I please have one more minute
[Verse 2]
F#m E A
No honey, I don’t want to go
Dsus2/F# E
Please know that I have to
F#m E A
Look how the cancer has grown
Dsus2/F# E
I think it’s time I go home
F#m E A
Yes, I can still hear your voice
Dsus2/F# E
Sounds just like it did
F#m E A
And I can still feel your hand
Dsus2/F# F#m E
When it touches my skin
[Chorus 2]
Dsus2/F# A
But Heaven’s not too far away
E F#m E
I know someday you’ll visit
Dsus2/F# A
And I didn’t think it’d go this way
E F#m E
Can I please have one more minute
Dsus2/F# A
I gave you life
E F#m E
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
Dsus2/F# A
But Heaven’s not too far away
E
I know someday you’ll visit
[Bridge]
F#m Dsus2/F#
As death rattles my cage
A E
I can hear their voices fading
F#m Dsus2/F#
Each breath getting harder
A E
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
F#m Dsus2/F#
And to her older brother
A E
He’s thinking back when he was younger
F#m Dsus2/F#
When he had a healthy mother
A E
Who asked him to take care of his little brother
F#m Dsus2/F#
And he’s not really sure about life
A E
Or that how could any of this be right
F#m Dsus2/F#
But I know my babies they will be fine
A E
Cause they can talk to me anytime
{Chorus 3}
Dsus2/F# N.C A
But Heaven’s not too far away
E F#m E
I know someday you’ll visit
Dsus2/F# A
And I didn’t think it’d go this way
E F#m E
Can I please have one more minute
