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

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