[Verse 1]
      C                  Dm       
I was half asleep when I heard the
       F                C
 news, sad words on the phone
            G/B   Am       G      
I just couldn't believe my ears, I
 F                      G
 couldn't believe she's gone
  F                  G            
I tried to make some sense of it, 
    C                 F
but sense I could not make
      Dm                  Am      
How a girl like her could go like 
         F               C
that, it must be some mistake

[Verse 2]
  C                 Dm       F   
I know her since forever, as far 
          C
back as I go
           G/B    Am     G       
She always had an answer for the 
F               G
things I didn't know
    F          G        C        
She never hurt anybody, never did
      F
 them wrong
    Dm            Am         
She walked to the tune of life 
           F            C
teaching everyone the song

[Chorus]
    F          C           G     
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm 
       C
awake in bed
F         C           G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took
 me instead
Continues after the ad
      F                C           
But I guess the good die young and 
G               Am
life just isn't fair
    F          C              
But Emily's in Heaven she'll be 
  G              Am
waiting for me there

[Verse 3]
 C               Dm           F  
Eleven different doctors, but not
           C
 one had a clue
                G/B      Am    G 
They rushed her through emergency
               F                  G
 but there was nothing they could do
     F              G         
They said she had a weak heart, 
        C                F
she'd always been that way
  Dm            Am       F       
I said she just gave too much of 
    C
it away

[Chorus]
    F          C          G      
Now Emily's in Heaven and I'm 
      C
awake in bed
F         C           G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took
 me instead
      F                C           
But I guess the good die young and 
G               Am
life just isn't fair
        F          C              
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll 
  G              Am
be waiting for me there

[Verse 4]
   C                 Dm           
We laid her down for peaceful 
   F                 C
sleep, time was standing still
     G/B  Am     G         F    
Everybody said a prayer on top 
            G
of moonlight hill
  F            G            C    
I said goodbye with a rose, how 
            F
she loved them so
       Dm                 Am      
Then I turned away, tried not to 
       F              C
cry and did my best to go

[Chorus]
    F          C           G     
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm 
       C
awake in bed
F         C           G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took
 me instead
      F                C           
But I guess the good die young and 
G               Am
life just isn't fair
        F          C              
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll 
  G              Am
be waiting for me there
