Can Heaven Wait Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[F#m] Quarter after seven, got a phone [Bm] call telling me to get here quick.
[F#m] Said your girl is in
a bad situation.
[Bm] They don't know if she's gonna make it.
[F#m] As I hurry to be by her [Bm] side,
I ask a thousand times why, oh [F#m] why.
There's no rhyme or reason in my life [Bm] with you lying
here this way. _
I'd give anything just [F#m] to trade places [D] with you.
So [Bm] I'm begging heaven down
on my knees [G#] to help you make it [C#] through.
[F#m] Tell me can't heaven wait, can't heaven [Bm] wait,
just one more night.
[F#m] Tell me what's one of the things to keep [Bm] you with me in my life.
[F#m] Giving up the shame of my other life, [Bm] now I'm seeing things in a whole new light.
[D] Lord, I'll bow out the change if you [Bm] just make it right.
[E] Can't heaven wait for me.
[F#m] Wait one _ night.
[Bm] Yeah. _ _
[F#m] Thinking back on times that I wasted.
[Bm] I should have cherished every _
[F#m] minute.
All the different flavors that I [Bm] tasted.
Can't compare to you, no.
[F#m] As I reminisce on your
[Bm] side, tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes.
[F#m] All the things I did that weren't right,
[Bm] wish I could apologize. _
I'd give anything if [F#m] I could trade places [D] with you.
[Bm] So I'm begging heaven
down on my knees [G#] to help you make it [C#] through.
[F#m] Tell me can't heaven wait, can't [Bm] heaven wait,
just one more night.
[F#m] Tell me what's one of the things to keep [Bm] you with me in my life.
[F#m] Giving up the shame of my other life, [Bm] now I'm seeing things in a whole new [D] light.
Lord, I'll bow out
the change if you [Bm] just make it right.
[E] Can't heaven wait [F#m] one night.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ I'm [D] gonna stop the world, reverse the time, [C#m] do whatever it takes to keep you alive.
[Bm] Heaven has [E] to wait one more day.
[C#] Baby, take my breath so you can [G#] breathe.
I'm here, so don't you [Bm] leave.
[B] _ Heaven's [E] got to wait.
Heaven's got to wait.
[Gm] Tell me can't heaven wait, can't heaven [Cm] wait, just one more night.
Heaven's got to wait.
[Gm] Tell me what's one of the things to [Cm] keep you with me in my [Gm] life.
Giving up the shame of my other [Cm] life, now I'm seeing things in a whole [D] new light.
Lord, I'll bow out the change if you [Cm] just make it right.
Can't heaven wait [Gm] one night.
Tell me if you know, tell me if you know, tell [Cm] me if you know, yeah.
Can't heaven wait [Gm] one night.
_ Yeah.
[Cm] _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [D#] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] Can't heaven wait. _
