[Intro] F#m  E  A
        D  E  F#m

               E             A                    D  E  F#m
Honey I thought you should know that I'm in a hurry
               E        A                     D  E  F#m
I've got to move up north, but it's just temporary
              E  A             D  E  F#m     
When I look at you I see your beauty 
         E    A              D    F#m  E
Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me

     D                    A
But heavens not too far away
                     E      F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
      D                       A
And I didn't think I'd go this way
                     E
Can I please one more minute?

F#m              E        A
No honey I don't want to go
                       D   E  F#m
Please know that I have to
                E          A
Look how the cancer has grown
 
                        D   E  F#m
I think it's time I go home
                E        A                        D  E  F#m
I can still hear your voice, sounds just like it did
                    E        A
And I can still feel your hand
                  D     F#m  E
When it touches my skin

      D                   A
But heavens not too far away
                     E      F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
         D                     A 
And I didn't think I'd go this way
                            E   F#m  E
Can I please have one more minute?
      D       A                        E         F#m  E
I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
      D                   A
But heavens not too far away
                     E
I know someday you'll visit

F#m                   D
As death rattles my cage
 A                       E
I can hear their voices fading
F#m                  D
Each breath getting harder
        A                             E
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter

F#m                D
And to her older brother
        A                       E
He's thinking back when he was younger
F#m                      D
When he had a healthy mother
      A                                   E
Who asked him to take care of his little brother

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

         D                    A
'Cause, Heavens not too far away
                        E   F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
   D                        A 
I didn't think I'd go this way
                             E    F#m  E
Can I please have one more minute?

D             A                       E        F#m  E
I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
     D                    A
But heavens not too far away
                         E   F#m
I know someday you'll visit
 
                   E          A                 D  E  F#m
Honey I thought you should know, that I'm in a hurry
                 E   A
I've got a move up north
                  E  A
But it's just temporary
