E B A F#m A X2
Verse:
E B
She was diagnosed on a Friday,
A
The kids were almost home,
F#m A E
The kids were on their way back home from school,
B
Lying face down in the gutter,
A
Of unaccomplished dreams,
F#m A E
And broken memories of things to come.
B
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.
A F#m A
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
E B
You know where, I'll tell you when,
A F#m
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,
A E
The best way that you can."
B A
Every night for three long weeks,
F#m A E
She’d roam the hallways half asleep,
B
And as the footsteps fade away,
A F#m A
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Chorus:
A B E F#m A
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be,
B(stop)
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.
Inter: E B A F#m A x4

E B
Lost her strength on a Saturday,
A
Spent the day in bed.
F#m A E B
Yeah, I'm fine; it's just the flu she said, with a smile,
A
But when they turned their backs,
F#m
The tears would flow.
A E
She knew she only had a while, to live,
B A
To breathe, to be, to see, to bleed,
F#m A E
To stand on her own two weakened feet,
B A F# A
"And so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away"
E B
Every night for three long weeks,
