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                A4/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              A4/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               A4/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                 A4/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               A4/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/A4
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,

You lost a son once to,

There's no use in beggin,

So if you, take her with you today,

You make sure she looks both ways,
    D                     G           C      
And would you hold her hand when she crosses,
