Paula Cole - I Dont Want To Wait Chords

[Intro]
 
D              A/C#
So open up your morning light
Bm             Asus2
And say a little prayer for I
D              A/C#
You know that if we are to stay alive
Bm             Asus2
Then see the peace in every eye
 
 
[Refrain]
E
Doo doo doo doooo
E
Doo doo doo doooo
Asus2
Doo doo doo doo doooo
E
Doo doo doo doooo
E
Doo doo doo doooo
Asus2
Doo doo doo doo doooo
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
A
In the war of '44
E
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
       C#m              B           Asus2
When she thought it was God calling her
       C#m              B           Asus2
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
 
 
[Chorus]
E                 B/D#        C#m      B
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
A                  G#m       F#m      B
I want to know right now what will it be
E                 B/D#        C#m      B
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Asus2             G#m       F#m
Will it be yes or will it be sorry
 
 
[Refrain]
E
Doo doo doo doooo
E
Doo doo doo doooo
Asus2
Doo doo doo doo doooo
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Asus2
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
E
And the war he saw lives inside him still
       C#m              B           Asus2
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
       C#m              B           Asus2
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
 
 
[Chorus]
E                 B/D#        C#m      B
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Asus2              G#m       F#m      B
I want to know right now what will it be
E                 B/D#        C#m      B
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Asus2             G#m       F#m
Will it be yes or will it be
 
 
[Verse 3]
Esus4
Ohhh, so look at me from across the room
F#m
You're wearing your anguish again
G
Believe me I know the feeling
    D                          A
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Esus4
Ohhh, so breathe a little more deeply
F#m
All we have is this very moment
G
And I don't want to do what his father
    D
And his father, and his father did
                  E
I want to be here now
