[Intro]
C  D
[Verse]
                  G
You woke up this morning
                   Em     E
With red and teary eyes
   Em              C
There's a whole inside your broken soul
                         G
You weren't ready to let go
You had dreams about her
                             Em
Where you still can see her smile
 C
And the memories you both have shared
Will make you happy for a little while
G
[Chorus]
     A                         D                          C   G
Oh, why did you have to go a place where I couldn't follow?
     A            D                          A             Am   D
Oh, why did you have to go a place where I couldn't follow?
     C      D
So don't, don't wake me up
   C
'Cause I only see her in my dreams
When I fall asleep
D
[Verse]
     G
She broke her wings
             Em
Can no more fly
                C
There's a part of the universe
                         G
A shining star upon the sky
She's looking down upon you
                              C
She wants to say that she is fine
                      D
Maybe she's there at night
          C
And she whispers
                       G
"Darling, it will be alright."
[Chorus]
         A            D                                          G
Oh, but why did you have to go a place where I couldn't follow?
     A                             D                    Em   E G
Oh, why did you have to go a place where I couldn't follow?
     C     D
So don't, don't wake me up
'Cause I only see her in my dreams
       Em        D
When I fall asleep
          C
'Cause I only see her in my dreams
When I fall asleep
G
Oh, heaven's got a new angel
           Em       D         G
Got a new angel
      C
Oh, heaven's got a new angel
            G
Got a new angel
