VERSE:
she was [E]diagnosed on a [B]friday
the [A]kids were almost home, the [F#m]kids were on their way back home from
[E]school, lying face down in the [B]gutter
of [A]unaccomplished dreams and [F#m]broken memories of things to
[E]come, "sorry ma'am, i re[B]ally am, but i
[A]had to make the phone call, to [F#m]tell you that you're due
you know [E]where, i'll tell you [B]when, and i
sug[A]gest that you start living, the [F#m]next three weeks as best as you can"
[E] every night for [A]three long weeks
[F#m] she roams the hallways [B]half asleep
[E] and as the footsteps [A]fade away
[F#m]in my mind i can swear, [B]i can swear i heard her say
CHORUS:
[A] don't wait for [B]me, i got lots to [A]do, and got lots to [B]be
A B |back to verse (power chords)
and in the end maybe i'll see you a-gain
VERSE:
[E]lost strength on a [B]saturday
[A]spent the day in bed, [F#m]yeah i'm fine its just the flu she
[E]said with a [B]smile, but
[A]when they turned their backs the tears would [F#m]flow she knew she only had a
[E]while to live to [B]breathe to be to
[A]see to bleed, to [F#m]stand on her own two weakened
[E]feet, and so i [B]pray every
[A]day, [F#m]don't take my mother away
[E] every night for [A]three long weeks
[F#m] she roams the hallways [B]half asleep
[E] and as the footsteps [A]fade away
[F#m]in my mind i can swear, [B]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
