[Intro 1]

[Verse 1]
[D]She had two babies
one was six months, one was three
[G]In the war of '44
[D]Every telephone ring
every heartbeat stinging
When she [Bm]thought it was [A]God calling [G]her
Oh, [Bm]would her son [A]grow to know his fa[G]ther?

[Chorus 1]
[D]I don't wanna wait
for our [Bm]lives to be [D]over
I [G]want to know right [D]now
what will it [E]be?[A]
[D]I don't wanna wait
for our [Bm]lives to be [D]over
Will [G]it be yes or [D]will it [E]be... sorry?

[Verse 2]
[D]He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
[G]Wearing shrapnel in his skin
[D]And the war he saw
lives inside him still
It's so [Bm]hard to be [A]gentle and [G]warm
The [Bm]years pass by
and [A]now he has grand[G]daughters

[Chorus 2]
[D]I don't wanna wait
for our [Bm]lives to be [D]over
I [G]want to know right [D]now
what will it [E]be?[A]

for our [Bm]lives to be [D]over
Will [G]it be yes or [D]will it [E]be...

[Bridge 1]
[D]Ohhh, so look at me from across the room
You're [Em]wearing your anguish again
Be[F]lieve me, I know the feeling
It [C]sucks you into the jaws of an[G]ger
[D]Ohh, so breathe a little more deeply
All we [Em]have is this very moment
And [F]I don't wanna do what his father
And his father, and [C]his father did
I wanna be here [D]now

[Bridge 2]
So [C]open up your [Bm]morning light
And [Am]say a little p[G]rayer for I
You know that [C]if we are to [Bm]stay alive
Then [Am]see the peace in [G]every eye
