she was diagnosed on a friday
    A			       F#m
the kids were almost home, the kids were on their way back home from
E			       B
school, lying face down in the gutter
   A			     F#m
of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories of things to
E			     B
come, "sorry ma'am, i really am, but i
A			       F#m
had to make the phone call, to tell you that you're due
	 E		      B
you know where, i'll tell you when, and i
   A  				   F#m
suggest that you start living, the next three weeks as best as you can"

	E		 A
	 every night for three long weeks
	F#m			B
	 she roams the hallways half asleep
	E 		      A
	 and as the footsteps fade away
	F#m			B
	in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

	CHORUS:
	A		B		  A		      B
	 don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be

E		   B
lost strength on a saturday
A		      F#m
spent the day in bed, yeah i'm fine its just the flu she
E	    B
said with a smile, but
A					     F#m
when they turned their backs the tears would flow she knew she only had a
E		 B
while to live to breathe to be to
A		 F#m
see to bleed, to stand on her own two weakened
E	       B
feet, and so i pray every
A    F#m
day, don't take my mother away

	E		 A
	 every night for three long weeks
	F#m			B
	 she roams the hallways half asleep
	E 		      A
	 and as the footsteps fade away
	F#m			B
	in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be
and in the end maybe i'll see you again
