Wait Till I Get There

Am  G  F Fsus2 F


[Verse 1]
C
I was 500 miles away,
       Am7
When I got the call that cold winter
 day,
F
Mama was crying when she said son 
hurry home,
              C
She said your grandpa's not doing 
well,
        Am7
And the doctor said it's hard to 
tell,
           F
But by the looks of things,
              Fsus2  F  Fsus2  F
He don't have long,
       Dm                C
Lord I knew someday this time would 
come,
     F
So before you take him home.


[Chorus]
            C         G  F
Wait till I get there,
               G
Don't let him leave this world,
   C                  G           
Without me having the chance to 
     F    G
say goodbye,
                     C
I want to tell him I love him,
         G              F
And I'll miss him every day,
                 C                 
Lord I know he's going to a better 
Dm
place,

But if you're going to take him 
D/F#   F
today,
N.C.        Am     G  F Em F
Wait till I get there.


[Verse 2]
  C
I left my heart lying on the floor,
     Am7
As I grabbed my keys and ran out the
 door,
         F                         
Caught a red eye flight back home 
              Fsus2 F
to my hometown,
           C
And as the silver wings touch the 
midnight sky,
        Am7
Looking down the world I thought 
about,
F                           
All those times that I wasn’t 
          Fsus2 F
around,
    Dm                  C
Now time with you, wish I had more,
    F
Now all I'm asking for.


[Chorus]
            C         G  F
Wait till I get there,
               G
Don't let him leave this world,
   C                  G           
Without me having the chance to 
     F    G
say goodbye,
                     C
I want to tell him I love him,
         G              F
And I'll miss him every day,
                 C                 
Lord I know he's going to a better 
Dm
place,
              Em                
But if you're going to take him 
D/F#   F
today,
N.C.        C
Wait till I get there.


[Bridge]
Em
I just want to hug his neck,
     F
Just one more time,
    Em
And be there right beside him,
        F            G
When he closes his eyes.
