She was^E diagnosed on a ^BFriday, The ^Akids were almost home, The ^F#mkids were on their ^Away back home from ^Eschool, Lying face down in the ^Bgutter, Of ^Aunaccomplished dreams, And ^F#mbroken memories ^Aof things to ^Ecome. "Sorry ma'am, I really ^Bam. I had to break the news. I ^Ahad to make the phone call to ^F#mtell you that you're ^Adue, You know ^Ewhere, I'll tell you ^Bwhen, And I ^Asuggest you start living these ^F#mnext three weeks, The ^Abest way that you can. "

^EEvery night for ^Bthree long weeks, ^AShe'd roam the hallways ^F#mhalf as^Aleep, ^EAnd as the footsteps ^Bfade away, ^AIn my mind, I could swear, ^F#mI could swear, I ^Aheard her say: ^ADon't wait for ^Bme, you've got a lot to ^Edo, you've got a lot to ^F#mbe, ^AAnd in the ^Bend maybe, I'll see you there.

^ELost her strength on a ^BSaturday, ^ASpent the day in bed. ^F#mYeah, I'm fine; it's ^Ajust the flu she ^Esaid, with a ^Bsmile, ^ABut when they turned their backs, ^F#mThe tears would flow. ^AShe knew she only had a ^Ewhile, to live, ^BTo breathe, to be, ^Ato see, to bleed, ^F#mTo stand on her ^Aown two weakened ^Efeet, "And so I ^Bpray ^Aeveryday: ^F#don't take my ^Amother away"

E B A F#m A x4

^ADon't wait for ^Bme, you've got a lot to ^Edo, you've got a lot, to ^F#mbe, ^AAnd in the ^Bend maybe, I'll see you there.
