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.

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

And so I pray everyday
A C
"Don't take my moher away"-
