Catch 22 – As The Footsteps Die Out Forever (Guitar)

       D               A
She was diagnosed on a Friday,

    G
The kids were almost home,

    E                   G                  D
The kids were on their way back home from school,

                       A
Lying face down in the gutter,

    G
Of unaccomplished dreams,

    E             G               D
And broken memories of things to come.

                       A      
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.

   G                            E                    G
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,

         D                    A
You know where, I'll tell you when,

         G                           E
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,

    G                      
The best way that you can."

D                 A                 G
Every night for three long weeks,

                        E         D
She’d roam the hallways half asleep,

            A         
And as the footsteps fade away,

       G                             E                  
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

 G             A                       D                       E     G
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be,

            A             
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

D                   A
 Lost strength on a Saturday,

G
Spent the day in bed

  E           G                            D           A
"yeah, I'm fine. it's just the flu", she said with a smile

      G                                             E  G
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow

                          D
She knew she only had a while

             A
To live (to breath)

           G
To be (to see)

              E    G
To bleed, to stand

                         D
On her own two weakened feet

          A          G   
And so I pray everyday

        E              G              
"Don't take my moher away"-
