Heavens Not Too Far

[Intro]
F#m E A Dsus2/F# E
 
[Verse 1]
F#m                   E           A
    Honey, I thought you should know
             Dsus2/F#   E
That I'm in a hurry
F#m              E        A
    I've got to move up north
               Dsus2/F#   E
But it's just temporary
F#m                 E      A
    I really tried not to lie
                        Dsus2/F#   E
But this burdens getting heavy
F#m                     E            A
    No, you can't come with me this time
                 Dsus2/F#       E
You got your own destiny, yeah
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m             E    A           Dsus2/F#   E
    When I look at you I see your beauty
F#m           E    A           Dsus2/F#   F#m  E
    Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me
 
[Chorus]
    Dsus2/F#              A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E    F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
     Dsus2/F#                    A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                            E
Can I please have one more minute
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                   E        A
    No honey, I don't want to go
                  Dsus2/F#    E
Please know that I have to
F#m                   E        A
    Look how the cancer has grown
                  Dsus2/F#    E
I think it's time I go home
F#m                   E         A
    Yes, I can still hear your voice
                  Dsus2/F#   E
Sounds just like it did
F#m                   E         A
    And I can still feel your hand
                  Dsus2/F#   F#m E
When it touches my skin
 
[Chorus 2]
    Dsus2/F#              A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E    F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
     Dsus2/F#                    A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                            E      F#m  E
Can I please have one more minute
Dsus2/F#             A
         I gave you life
                         E      F#m E
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
    Dsus2/F#              A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E
I know someday you'll visit
 
[Bridge]
F#m                   Dsus2/F#
    As death rattles my cage
A                            E
    I can hear their voices fading
F#m                    Dsus2/F#
    Each breath getting harder
       A                               E
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
F#m                  Dsus2/F#
    And to her older brother
      A                         E
He's thinking back when he was younger
F#m                      Dsus2/F#
    When he had a healthy mother
     A                                    E
Who asked him to take care of his little brother
    F#m                       Dsus2/F#
And he's not really sure about life
         A                        E
Or that how could any of this be right
      F#m                        Dsus2/F#
But I know my babies they will be fine
       A                     E
Cause they can talk to me anytime
 
{Chorus 3}
 Dsus2/F#        N.C       A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E    F#m  E
I know someday you'll visit
     Dsus2/F#                    A
And I didn't think it'd go this way
                            E      F#m  E
Can I please have one more minute
Dsus2/F#             A
         I gave you life
                         E      F#m E
Now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
    Dsus2/F#               A
But Heaven's not too far away
                        E
I know someday you'll visit
 
[Ending]
F#m                   E           A
    Honey, I thought you should know
             Dsus2/F#   E
That I'm in a hurry
Dsus2/F#                   E
         I've got to move up north
Dsus2/F#
         But it's just temporary
