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

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

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