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

After, its all the same for the verse and chorus again.

Hope you enjoy!
