Verse:
       E5               B5
She was diagnosed on a Friday,
    A5
The kids were almost home,
    F#5                A5                  E5
The kids were on their way back home from school,
                       B5
Lying face down in the gutter,
    A5
Of unaccomplished dreams,
    F#5          A5               E5
And broken memories of things to come.
                       B5
"Sorry ma'am , I really am. I had to break the news.
   A5                            F#5                  A5
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
         E5                    B5
You know where, I'll tell you when,
         A5                           F#5
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,
    A5                      E5
The best way that you can."
                 B5                 A5
Every night for three long weeks,
                        F#5    A5     E5
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
                     B5
And as the footsteps fade away,
 A5                          F#5              A5    
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Chorus:
 A5             B5                       E5                       F#5     A5
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
           B5 (stop)                     
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Inter: 
E5  B5  A5  F#5 A5 x4

After, its all the same for the verse and chorus again.
Hope you enjoy!
