Heavens Not Too Far Away

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

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


     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        
I can still hear your voice, 
                D  E  F#m
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   
Can I please have one more 
F#m  E
minute?
      D       A                   
I gave you life now you gotta 
     E         F#m  E
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                          
I can hear the tears coming from my
   E
 daughter

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

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


         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    
Can I please have one more minute?
F#m  E

Honey I thought you should know, 
                 D  E  F#m
that I'm in a hurry
                 E   A
