D                             D/F#
I was 500 miles away when I got the call on a cold winter day
G      
Mama was crying when she said son hurrying home
    D                                           D/F#
She said your grandpa is not doing well and the doctors said it’s hard to tell
           G 
But by the looks of things he don’t have long
       Em                     Em/F#
Lord I knew someday that this time would come
     G
So before you take him home
Chorus:
            D          A  
Wait till I get there
G             A                    D                 A                 G
Don’t let him leave this world without me having the chance to say goodbye
A                    D                 A             G   
I want to tell him I love him and I’ll miss him everyday
                             G/F#   Em 
Lord I know he is going to a better place
               Em/F#                E7   G
But if you are gonna to take him today, Ohhh
            D 
Wait till I get there
I left my heart lying on the floor as I grab my keys and ran out the door
Caught a red eye flight back home to my home town
And as the silver wings touch the midnight sky
Looking down over the world I realize how small life is
Like a grain of sand
Lord time was him wish I had more
And all I am asking for
Chorus
Bridge:
F#m                              G
I just want to hug his neck just one more time
    F#m                               G            A  
And be there right beside him when he closes his eyes
