intro/refrain:

So open up your morning light and

see the peace in every eye.

verse:
E B5 Asus2
She had two babies,
C#m Asus2
one was six months, one was three
C#m B5-Asus2
in the war of forty four.
E B5 C#m Asus2
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
C#m B5 Asus2 C#m
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would
B5 Asus2
her son grow to know his father?

E B5
I don't want to wait for our
C#m Asus2
lives to be over I
C#m B5
want to know right now, what will it
Asus2
be?
(repeat)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
E-B5-C#m-Asus2
Du du du du du
E-B5-C#m-Asus2
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 lives inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
chorus
bridge:
C G
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
C G C
wearing your anguish again. Believe
me, I know the feeling; it
Em Asus2 B5
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
C G
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love. All we
D C C
have is this very moment
C G C
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
G Asus2
his father did. I want to be here now.
