Capo 1
(verse 1)
A D G A
Hello God, it's me again, 2 a.m. room of three or four,
D G A
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug-of-war,
A D G A
A sleeping child between us, may not make it through the night,
A D D/F# G Asus/A
I'm fightin back the tears, as she fights for her life,
(chorus)
D G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
A D
On the streets of heaven,
Bm G A-D-A
So tell me what do you need her for,
D G
Don't you know one day she'll be your,
A D Bm
Little girl, forever, but righ now,
G A - Asus
I need her so much more,
Bm D
She's much too young, to be on her own,
Bm G
Barely just turned seven,
D G C G
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
D A D
The streets of Heaven,
(verse 2)
A D G A
Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made,
D G A
AS she blew out the candles, on her last birthday cake,
A D G A
She wants to ride a pony, when she's big enough,
A D G Asus/A
She wants to marry her daddy, when she's all grown up,
(chorus)
D G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
A D
On the streets of heaven,
Bm G A-D-A
So tell me what do you need her for,
D G
Don't you know one day she'll be your,
A D Bm
Little girl, forever, but righ now,
G A - Asus
I need her so much more,
Bm D
She's much too young, to be on her own,
Bm G
Barely just turned seven,
D G C G
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
D A G
The streets of Heaven,
(instrumental chords - G - A - G - A - D)
(verse 3)
A D
Lord don't you know, she's my angel,
G A
You've got plenty of your own,
A A/C# D D/G
And I know you hold a place for her,
G D A
But she's already got a home,
A D
Well I don't know if you're listening,

But prayin's all that's left to do,

So I ask you Lord have mercy,
G A
You lost a son once to,
(chorus)

On the streets of heaven,

I need her so much more,

Lord I know, once you've made up your mind,
G
There's no use in beggin,
Bm G
So if you, take her with you today,

You make sure she looks both ways,
D G C G
And would you hold her hand when she crosses,
D A G
The streets of Heaven,
(no chord) D
The streets of Heaven,
