Verse 1:
Gbm                             A
   Honey, I thought you should know
               D
That I'm in a hurry
Gbm                     A
   I've got to move up north
                  D
But it's just temporary
Gbm                  A              D
    When I look at you I see your beauty
Gbm              A              D
   Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me

Chorus:
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                      E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E
Can I please have one more minute?

Verse 2:
Gbm                           A
   No honey, I don't want to go
                  D
Just know that I have to
Gbm                         A
   Look how the cancer has grown
                    D
I think it's time I go home
Gbm                            A
   Yes, I can still hear your voice
                    D
Sounds just like it did
Gbm                           A
   And I can still feel your hand
                   D
When it touches my skin

Chorus:
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                      E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E
Can I please have one more minute?
D             A
   I gave you life
                        E
Now you gotta watch it leave my
Gbm E D
eyes
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E
I know someday you'll visit

Bridge:
Gbm                     D
   As death rattles my cage
A                           E
   I can hear their voices fading
Gbm                     D
   Each breath getting harder
      A                              E
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
Gbm                  D
   And to her older brother
      A                        E
He's thinking back when he was younger
Gbm                       D
   When he had a healthy mother
    A                                    E
Who asked him to take care of his little brother

     Gbm                         D
And he's not really sure about life
        A                        E
Or that how could any of this be right
       Gbm                          D
But I know my babies they will be fine
        A                    E
'Cause they can talk to me anytime

Chorus:
   D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                      E
I know someday you'll visit
       D                        A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                           E
Can I please have one more minute?
D             A
   I gave you life
                        E
Now you gotta watch it leave my
Gbm E D
eyes
    D                     A
But Heaven's not too far away
                           E
No, I know someday you'll visit

Outro:
Gbm                             A
   Honey, I thought you should know
               D
That I'm in a hurry
Gbm                         A
I've gotta move up north,
              D
but it's just temporary.
