[Intro]
Cadd9 D x4
[Verse]
G Cadd9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
Em D Cadd9
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
G Cadd9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Em Dsus4 Cadd9
talking ‘bout the options and talkin’ ‘bout sweet time
Em B7
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
G Cadd9
How’s it hit ‘cha when you get that kind of news, man what’cha do?
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em Dsus4 Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em Dsus4
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been
Cadd9
denying
D G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Verse]
G Cadd9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn’t
Em D Cadd9
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
G Cadd9
And all of a sudden going fishin’ wasn’t such an imposition
Em D Cadd9
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
[Bridge]
Em B7
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look
G Cadd9
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then…
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em Dsus4 Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em Dsus4 Cadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying
D Em
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Bridge]
B7 G Cadd9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you’d do with it?
D
What could you do with it
C
What could I do with it
Cadd9
What would I do with it
(Key Change)
[Chorus]
A
I went sky diving
Dadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
F#m E Dadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
A C#7 F#m E Dadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying
E A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
