ska bar chords and punk power chords.  hey, that's what skapunk is.

VERSE:
        E         B
she was diagnosed on a friday
    A       F#m
the kids were almost home, the kids were on their way back home from 
E       B
school, lying face down in the gutter
   A     F#m
of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories of things to 
E     B
come, "sorry ma'am, i really am, but i 
A       F#m
had to make the phone call, to tell you that you're due
 E      B
you know where, i'll tell you when, and i 
   A     F#m
suggest that you start living, the next three weeks as best as you can"

E A
 every night for three long weeks
F#mB
 she roams the hallways half asleep
E       A
 and as the footsteps fade away
F#mB
in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

CHORUS:
AB  A      B
 don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be
A    B    |back to verse (power chords)
 and in the end maybe i'll see you a-gain

VERSE:
E   B
lost strength on a saturday
A      F#m
spent the day in bed, yeah i'm fine its just the flu she
E    B
said with a smile, but 
A     F#m
when they turned their backs the tears would flow she knew she only had a 
E B  
while to live to breathe to be to 
A F#m
see to bleed, to stand on her own two weakened 
E       B
feet, and so i pray every 
A    F#m
day, don't take my mother away

E A
 every night for three long weeks
F#mB
 she roams the hallways half asleep
E       A
 and as the footsteps fade away
F#mB
in my mind i can swear, i can swear i heard her say

CHORUS:
don't wait for me, i got lots to do, and got lots to be
and in the end maybe i'll see you again

disclaimer: though i also wanted more than friendship, 
more than anything i wanted friendship.
