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

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