So open up your morn-ing light and

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?

G(add2)    D(add4)/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

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

Fsus    C(add9)  

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

Fsus   Gsus2

his fater did.  I want to be here now.
