I_Don't_Want_To_Wait - Paula Cole

from the album "This Fire"

transcribed by Phil Metzler

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.

G(add2)

Du du du, etc.

C6/9

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) 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

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

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.
