Verse: 
       D5               A5
She was diagnosed on a Friday,
    G5
The kids were almost home,
    E5                   G5                  D5
The kids were on their way back home from school,
                       A5
Lying face down in the gutter,
    G5
Of unaccomplished dreams,
    E5             G5               D5
And broken memories of things to come.
                       A5      
"Sorry ma'am , I really am. I had to break the news.
   G5                            E5                    G5
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
         D5                    A5
You know where, I'll tell you when,
         G5                           E5
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,
    G5                      
The best way that you can."

Chorus
D5                 A5                 G5
Every night for three long weeks,
                        E5         D5
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
            A5         
And as the footsteps fade away,
       G5                             E5                  
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
 G5             A5                       D5                       E5     G5
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
            A5             
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Verse 2
D5                   A5
 Lost strength on a Saturday,
G5
Spent the day in bed
  E5           G5                            D5           A5
"yeah, I'm fine. it's just the flu", she said with a smile
      G5                                             E5  G5
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow
                          D5
She knew she only had a while
             A5
To live (to breath)
           G5
To be (to see)
              E5    G5
To bleed, to stand
                         D5
On her own two weakened feet
          A5          G5   
And so I pray everyday
        E5              G5              
"Don't take my moher away"-

Chorus
