Capo 2

[Intro/Refrain]

E               B5

So open up your morning light and

C#m         Asus2

say a little prayer for I.  You know that

E              B5

if we are to stay alive, then

C#m              Asus2

see the peace in every eye.

E-B5-C#m-Asus2

Du du du, etc.

E-B5-C#m-Asus2

Du du du, etc.

[Verse]

E       B5        Asus2

She had two babies,

        C#m                 Asus2

one was six months, one was three

       C#m          B5-Asus2

in the war of forty four.

E       B5          C#m       Asus2

Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she

C#m            B5        Asus2      C#m

thought it was God calling her.  Oh, would

        B5               Asus2

her son grow to know his father?

[Chorus]

E               B5

I don't want to wait for our

C#m          Asus2

lives to be over I

  C#m               B5

want to know right now, what will it

Asus2

be?

(repeat)

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?

E-B5-C#m-Asus2

Du du du du du

E-B5-C#m-Asus2

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]

C                             G

Oh, so you look at me from across the room.  You're

C                    G          C

wearing your anguish again. Believe

me, I know the feeling; it

 Em         Asus2         B5

sucks you into the jaws of anger.

C                                G

Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love.  All we

D                    C             C

have is this very moment

C                           G               C

and I don't want to do what his father and his father and

G                                    Asus2

his father did.  I want to be here now.

[Intro]

Du du du's
