Subject: CRD "I Don't Want To Wait" by Paula Cole 


I_Don't_Want_To_Wait - Paula Cole 
from the album "This Fire" 
transcribed by Phil Metzler 

intro/refrain: 

Gsus2/F Gsus2/E 
So open up your morn-ing light and 
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C 
say a little prayer for I. You know that 
Gsus2/F Gsus2/E 
if we are to stay alive, then 
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C 
see the peace in every eye. 

G(add2) 
Du du du, etc. 
C6/9 
Du du du, etc. 

verse: 
G(add2) 
She had two babies, 
C6(add2)/G 
one was six months, one was three 
C6/9 
in the war of forty four. 
G(add2) 
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she 
Em7 D Cmaj9 
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would 
Em D6 C(add9) 
her son grow to know his father? 

chorus: 
G(add2) D(add4)/F# 
I don't want to wait for our 
Em11 Dsus 
lives to be over I 
C6 G(add9)/B 
want to know right now, what will it 
Dsus/A Dsus 
be? 
(repeat) 
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over 
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry? 
G(add2) 
Du du du du du 
C6/9 
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: 
G7(add4) 
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're 
Am9b13 
wearing your anguish again. Believe 
Bb(add2) 
me, I know the feeling; it 
Fsus C(add9) 
sucks you into the jaws of anger. 
G7(add4) 
Oh, so breath a little more deeply, my love. All we 
Am9b13 
have is this very moment 
Bb(add2) 
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and 
Fsus Gsus2 
his father did. I want to be here now.
