I Dont Wanna Wait

    C              G/B
So open up your morning light
    Am7          Am/G
And say a little prayer for I
    C                            G/B
You know that if we are to stay alive
    Am7           Am/G
And see the peace in every eye

G
  She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
Cadd9
In the war of '44
G
  Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
         Em7                Dsus4         Cadd9
When she thought it was God calling her
        Em7           Dsus4             Cadd9
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?


[Chorus]
G                       Gsus2/F#  Em7           Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
   Cadd9                  G/B             Am Dsus4
I want to know right now what will it be
G                       Gsus2/F#  Em7           Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
   Cadd9                G/B     Am Dsus4
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

[Verse]
G
  He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Cadd9
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
G
  And the war he saw lives inside him still
         Em7          Dsus4        Cadd9
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
          Em7             Dsus4              Cadd9
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters


[Chorus]
G                       Gsus2/F#  Em7           Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
   Cadd9                  G/B             Am Dsus4
I want to know right now what will it be
G                       Gsus2/F#  Em7           Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
   Cadd9                G/B     Am Dsus4
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
