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

Verse 2
D# A#
Lost strength on a Saturday,
G#
Spent the day in bed
F G# D# A#
"yeah, I'm fine. it's just the flu", she said with a smile
G# F G#
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow
D#
She knew she only had a while
A#
To live (to breath)
G#
To be (to see)
F G#
To bleed, to stand
D#
On her own two weakened feet
A# G#
And so I pray everyday
F G#
"Don't take my moher away"-
