Verse:
 
       E               B
She was diagnosed on a Friday,

    A
The kids were almost home,

    F#m                A                  E
The kids were on their way back home from school,

                       B
Lying face down in the gutter,

    A
Of unaccomplished dreams,

    F#m          A               E
And broken memories of things to come.

                       B
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.

   A                            F#m                  A
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,

         E                    B
You know where, I'll tell you when,

         A                           F#m
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,

    A                      E
The best way that you can."

                 B                 A
Every night for three long weeks,

                        F#m    A     E
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,

                     B
And as the footsteps fade away,

 A                          F#m              A    
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Chorus:

 A             B                       E                       F#m     A
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,

           B(stop)                     
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.


Inter: E  B  A  F#m A x4
