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 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 Asus/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 Asus/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 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 Asus/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/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
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
A D
The streets of Heaven,
(instrumental chords - G - A - G - A - D)

Lord don't you know, she's my angel,
G A
You've got plenty of your Own,

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,

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

So I ask you Lord have mercy,

You lost a son once to,

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,

And would you hold her hand when she crosses,
A D G
The streets of Heaven,

The streets of Heaven,
