intro/refrain:
Gsus2/F Gsus2/E
So open up your morn-ing light and
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C
say a little prayer for I. You know that
Gsus2/F Gsus2/E
if we are to stay alive, then
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C
see the peace in every eye.

Du du du, etc.
verse:
G(add2)
She had two babies,
C6(add2)/G
one was six months, one was three
C6/9
in the war of forty four.
G(add2)
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
Em7 D Cmaj9
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would
Em D6 C(add9)
her son grow to know his father?
chorus:
G(add2) Dadd4/F#
I don't want to wait for our
Em11 Dsus
lives to be over I
C6 G(add9)/B
want to know right now, what will it
Dsus/A Dsus
be?
(repeat)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
G(add2)
Du du du du du
C6/9
Du du du du du
verse two:
G(add2) C6(add2)/G
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
C6/9
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
G(add2)
And the war he saw linves inside him still.
Em7 D Cmaj9
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
Em D6 C(add9)
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
chorus
bridge:
G7(add4)
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
Am9/b13
wearing your anguish again. Believe
Bb(add2)
me, I know the feeling; it
Fsus C(add9)
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
G7(add4)
Oh, so breath a little more deeply, my love. All we
Am9/b13
have is this very moment
Bb(add2)
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
Fsus Gsus2
his fater did. I want to be here now.
