Wait Till I Get There By Eric Durrance 4/17/2010 Capo 3 D D/F# I was 500 miles away when I got the call on a cold winter day G Mama was crying when she said son hurrying home D D/F# She said your grandpa is not doing well and the doctors said it’s hard to tell G But by the looks of things he don’t have long Em Em/F# Lord I knew someday that this time would come G So before you take him home Chorus: D A Wait till I get there G A D A G Don’t let him leave this world without me having the chance to say goodbye A D A G I want to tell him I love him and I’ll miss him everyday G/F# Em Lord I know he is going to a better place Em/F# E7 G But if you are gonna to take him today, Ohhh D Wait till I get there I left my heart lying on the floor as I grab my keys and ran out the door Caught a red eye flight back home to my home town And as the silver wings touch the midnight sky Looking down over the world I realize how small life is Like a grain of sand Lord time was him wish I had more And all I am asking for Chorus Bridge: F#m G I just want to hug his neck just one more time F#m G A And be there right beside him when he closes his eyes Chorus Wait Till I Get There By Eric Durrance 4/17/2010 Capo 3 D D/F# I was 500 miles away when I got the call on a cold winter day
