 X2
 She was  diagnosed on a Friday,
 The kids  were almost home,
 The kids  were on their way  back home from school,
 Lying face down in the gutter,
 Of unaccomplished  dreams,
 And broken  memories  of things to come.
 "Sorry ma'am, I really am.  I had to break the news.
 I had  to make the phone call to tell  you that you're due,
 You know where,  I'll tell you when,
 And I suggest  you start living these next  three weeks,
 The best  way that you can."
 Every night for three  long weeks,
 She’d roam the hallways half  asleep,
 And as the footsteps fade  away,
 In  my mind, I could swear, I  could swear, I heard  her say:
 Don't  wait for me,  you’ve got a lot to do,  you’ve got a lot to be,
 And in the end  maybe, I'll see you there.
 Inter:  x4
 After, its all the same for the verse and chorus again.
 Hope you enjoy!

[E]  [B]  [A]  [F#m] [A] X2

She was[E] diagnosed on a [B]Friday,

The [A]kids were almost home,

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

Lying face down in the [B]gutter,

Of u[A]naccomplished dreams,

And [F#m]broken memori[A]es of things to [E]come.

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

I h[A]ad to make the phone call to [F#m]tell you that you're [A]due,

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

And I sug[A]gest you start living these [F#m]next three weeks,

The [A]best way that you can."[E]

Every night for t[B]hree long weeks,  [A]

She’d roam the hallways [F#m]half as[A]leep, [E]

And as the footsteps [B]fade away,

I[A]n my mind, I could swear, I[F#m] could swear, I h[A]eard her say:

D[A]on't wait for [B]me, you’ve got a lot to [E]do, you’ve got a lot to [F#m]be,     [A]

And in the [B]end maybe, I'll see you there.

Inter: [E]  [B]  [A]  [F#m] [A] x4

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