[Intro]
C Dm F C
C G/B Am G F G
F G C F
Dm Am F C
[Verse 1]
C Dm F C
I was half asleep when I heard the news, sad words on the phone
G/B Am G F G
I just couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe she's gone
F G C F
I tried to make some sense of it, but sense I could not make
Dm Am F C
How a girl like her could go like that, it must be some mistake
[Verse 2]
C Dm F C
I know her since forever, as far back as I go
G/B Am G F G
She always had an answer for the things I didn't know
F G C F
She never hurt anybody, never did them wrong
Dm Am F C
She walked to the tune of life teaching everyone the song
[Chorus]
F C G C
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm awake in bed
F C G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
F C G Am
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
F C G Am
But Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Interlude]
F C G F C
[Verse 3]
C Dm F C
Eleven different doctors, but not one had a clue
G/B Am G F G
They rushed her through emergency but there was nothing they could do
F G C F
They said she had a weak heart, she'd always been that way
Dm Am F C
I said she just gave too much of it away
[Chorus]
F C G C
Now Emily's in Heaven and I'm awake in bed
F C G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
F C G Am
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
F C G Am
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Interlude]
F C G F C

[Verse 4]
C Dm F C
We laid her down for peaceful sleep, time was standing still
G/B Am G F G
Everybody said a prayer on top of moonlight hill
F G C F
I said goodbye with a rose, how she loved them so
Dm Am F C
Then I turned away, tried not to cry and did my best to go
[Chorus]
F C G C
Now Emily's in Heaven, but I'm awake in bed
F C G
Sometimes I wish, the Good Lord took me instead
F C G Am
But I guess the good die young and life just isn't fair
F C G Am
Ah, but Emily's in Heaven she'll be waiting for me there
[Outro]
