[Intro/Refrain]
E B5
So open up your morning light and
C#m B
say a little prayer for I. You know that
E B5
if we are to stay alive, then
C#m B
see the peace in every eye.
F# Bsus2
Du du du, etc.
F# Bsus2
Du du du, etc.
[Verse]
F#
She had two babies,
one was six months, one was three
Bsus2
in the war of forty four.
F#
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
D#m C#5 Bsus2 D#m
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would
C#5 Bsus2
her son grow to know his father?
[Chorus]
F# C#5
I don't want to wait for our
D#m C#5
lives to be over I
B Bbm G#m
want to know right now, what will it
C#
be?
(repeat)
F# C#5 D#m C#5
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
B Bbm G#m C#5
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
F# Bsus2
Du du du du du
F# Bsus2
Du du du du du
[Verse 2]
(repeat verse 1 chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw lives inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
F#m - G#m - A - B
F#m - G#m - A - F#
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
wearing your anguish again. Believe
me, I know the feeling; it
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love. All we
have is this very moment
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
his father did. I want to be here now.
