 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/

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                 
 Cadd9
her son grow to know his father?

chorus:

 G(add2)		   D(add4)/F#
I don't want to wait for our
Em11	      
 Dsus4
lives to be over I

 C6                    G(add9)/B
want to know right now, what will it

 Dsus4/
 A   
 Dsus4
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:
(repeat verse one chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw linves inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
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
Am9b13
wearing your anguish again. Believe

 Bb(add2)
me, I know the feeling; it

 Fsus4			   
 Cadd9
sucks you into the jaws of anger.

 G7(add4)
Oh, so breath a little more deeply, my love.  All we
Am9b13
have is this very moment

 Bb(add2)
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and

 Fsus4				  
 Gsus2
his fater did.  I want to be here now.
