VERSE:
E B
she was diagnosed on a friday
A F#m
the kids were almost home, the kids were on their way back home from
E B
school, lying face down in the gutter
A F#m
of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories of things to
E B
come, "sorry ma'am, i really am, but i
A F#m
had to make the phone call, to tell you that you're due
E B
you know where, i'll tell you when, and i
A F#m
suggest that you start living, the next three weeks as best as you can"

E A
every night for three long weeks
F#m B
she roams the hallways half asleep
E A
and as the footsteps fade away
F#m B
in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

CHORUS:
A B A B
don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be
A B |back to verse (power chords)
and in the end maybe i'll see you a-gain

VERSE:
E B
lost strength on a saturday
A F#m
spent the day in bed, yeah i'm fine its just the flu she
E B
said with a smile, but
A F#m
when they turned their backs the tears would flow she knew she only had a
E B
while to live to breathe to be to
A F#m
see to bleed, to stand on her own two weakened
E B
feet, and so i pray every
A F#m
day, don't take my mother away

E A
every night for three long weeks
F#m B
she roams the hallways half asleep
E A
and as the footsteps fade away
F#m B
in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

CHORUS:
don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be
and in the end maybe i'll see you again
