Intro

C – G – F – Dm F x4

Verse 1

C – G – F – Dm F x4
She was diagnosed on a Friday
The kids were almost home, the kids were on their way back home from school
Lying face down in the gutter of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories of things to come
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news, I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due
You know where, I'll tell you when, and I suggest you start living these next three weeks, The best way that you can."

Chorus 1

C – G – F – Dm F x4
Every night for three long weeks, she’d roam the hallways half asleep
And as the footsteps fade away, In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be, and in the end maybe, I'll see you there

Break 1

C – G – F – Dm F x4

Verse 2

C – G – F – Dm F x4
Lost her strength on a Saturday, spent the day in bed
Yeah, I'm fine
it's just the flu she said, with a smile
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow
She knew she only had a while, to live, to breathe, to be, to see, to bleed
To stand on her own two weakened feet, "And so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away"

Chorus 2

C – G – F – Dm F x4
Every night for three long weeks, she’d roam the hallways half asleep
And as the footsteps fade away, in my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be, and in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Break 2

C – G – F – Dm F x4

Chorus 3

C – G – F – Dm F x3
Every night for three long weeks, she’d roam the hallways half asleep
And as the footsteps fade away, in my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be, and in the end maybe I'll see you

F – G – x2
And in the end you know ill see you, there and in the end you know I’ll see you there.

Ending

C – G – F – Dm F
Don’t wait for me, you’ve got a lot, to do you’ve got a lot, to be
And in the end maybe, I’ll see you there.
