verse 1 
             G 
Was it a million miles to heaven 
               C 
Too far to hear my lonely song 
               G                        C            Csus 
Or is it just my imagination I hear you humming along 
        G 
I only hold you in my dreams now 
               C 
I wake up with cold and empty arms 

Pre-Chorus 

Am                            C 
Lord help me get through this long night without you 
    Am                  C 
And soon as the morning comes 
Am                   C  (Ring out) 
Soon as the morning comes 

 
D                      G        C 
Save me a seat at the breakfast table 
D                          G        C 
Save me a dance around the Milky Way 
    Em                      A 
And save me a thousand years to whisper in your ears 
C                 D 
All I’ve wanted to say 
D                      G       C 
Save me a smile and an angel’s feather 
D                       G             C 
Save me a walk down the streets of gold 
Em                               A 
And baby, we’ll change our minds just like old times 
C                        D 
And maybe we’ll just fly away 
               G  C D         G  C D 
Or maybe we’ll st-a-y         st-a-y 

verse 2 
         G 
My lucky doll, you’re in heaven before me 
            C 
You were my taste of heaven here 
            G                                   C               Csus 
Remember we loved to talk about it, we couldn't wait to get there 
                 G 
So you go on and find your way around now 
             C 
But remember I’m here missing you 

Pre Chorus 
Am                C 
Do me a favor and say hey to Jesus 
    Am                       C 
And tell him I’m missing him too 
Am                       C  (Ring out) 
Tell him I’m missing him too
