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?
[Refrain]
      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
[Strophe]
              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
[Pont]
       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…
[Refrain]
       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

     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)

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

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
