I Dont Want To Wait

Paula Cole

 EB5
 So open up your morning light and
 C#mAsus2
 say a little prayer for I.  You know that
 EB5
 if we are to stay alive, then
 C#mAsus2
 see the peace in every eye.

 E-B5-C#m-Asus2
 Du du du, etc.
 E-B5-C#m-Asus2
 Du du du, etc.

verse:
 EB5Asus2
 She had two babies,
 C#mAsus2
one was six months, one was three
 C#mB5-Asus2
in the war of forty four.
 EB5C#mAsus2
 Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
 C#mB5Asus2C#m
 thought it was God calling her.  Oh, would
 B5Asus2
her son grow to know his father?

chorus:
 EB5
 I don't want to wait for our
 C#mAsus2
 lives to be over I
 C#mB5
want to know right now, what will it
 Asus2
 be?
(repeat)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
 Dududududu
verse two:
(repeat verse one chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw lives inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters

chorus

bridge:
 CG
 Oh, so you look at me from across the room.  You're
 CGC
 wearing your anguish again. Believe

me, I know the feeling; it
 EmAsus2B5
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
 CG
 Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love.  All we
 DCC
 have is this very moment            
 CGC
 and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
 GAsus2
 his father did.  I want to be here now.
