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

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

[Chorus]
    F          C           G            C
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm awake in bed
F         C           G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead

      F                C           G               Am
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
    F          C                G              Am
But Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there

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

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

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

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