Capo 1


      A	        D	    G	                  A
Hello God, it's me again, 2 a.m. room of three or four,
A	           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		G	          Asus4/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	        Asus4/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 right now,
  G		   Asus4/A
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	
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
    A	       D
The streets of Heaven,

(verse 2)

 	A	   D	        G	        A
Tell me	God,do you remember,the wishes that she made,
A                   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	           Asus4/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	         Asus4/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 right now,
  G	           A/Asus4
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	
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
    A		D	
The streets of Heaven,

(verse 3)
 	       A	      D
Lord don't you know, she's my angel,
 	   G	          A
You've got plenty of your Own,
      A		      D	
And I know you hold a place for her,
    G		        A
But she's already got a home,
       A	            D
Well I don't know if you're listening,
    G	                        A
But prayin's all that's left to do,
      A	               D
So I ask you Lord have mercy,
    G	            A
You lost a son once to,

(chorus)
 	D	        G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
 A                 D	
 On the streets of heaven,

So tell	 me what do you need her for,

I need her so much more,	 

(bridge)
       Bm	             A
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,
D	          G
You make sure she looks both ways,
    D	               G	     C	
And would you hold her hand when she crosses,
    A	       D	G
The streets of Heaven,
