If I had only 24 hours to live
            Bm7
What would I do
            D2
What would I do
           A      E/G#
If I had only 24 hours to breathe
            Bm7
What would I say

What would I say

A    E/G#     Bm    D2

A              E/G#
 It's easy to lose track
                   Bm7
It's tempting to look back
          D                 A
Fill our hearts with regret
                   E/G#
For all we couldn't do
                       Bm7
For all we should have done
             D2              E   F#m
But didn't take the time to
          D2  A/C#      E
Well it's not too late
       F#m        D2
We've still got today


          A       E/G#
If I had only 24 hours to live
            Bm7
What would I do
            D2

If I had only 24 hours to breathe
            Bm7
What would I say
            D2
What would I say


Bm                            F#m          E
 I'd give my love without holding back, holding back
Bm                            F#m          E
 I'd give my heart without keeping track of who would repay
Bm                   D            E              A   E  Bm   D2
 This precious time, melting, oh, melting away


A              E/G#
 I'm sick of all my pride
                   Bm7
I'm sick of trying to hide
          D                 A
Denying what I know is true
                  E/G#
These un-opened gifts
              Bm7
Will cease to exist
          D2               E   F#m
If I return them all un-used
          D2  A/C# A    E
Well it's not too      late
      F#m        D2
I've still got today


          A       E/G#
If I had only 24 hours to live
            Bm7
What would I do
            D2

If I had only 24 hours to breathe
            Bm7
What would I say
            D2
What would I say
Bm                        F#m          E
 I would take back every single harsh word that I said
Bm                              F#m              E
 I'd spend my time to hear your sweet, sweet, laughter again
Bm                               D   E              A   E  Bm   D2
 I'd never leave your side with 24 hours to live


Bm                        F#m        E
 I'd hold you tight, and never stop kissing your face
Bm                           F#m              E
 I'd write love letters and frame them up so time couldn’t erase
Bm                               D   E                          A   E  Bm   D2
 I'd hope my love would see you through every step of the way

 D2                    A   E/G#   Bm
Every step of the way
 D2                    A   E    Bm    D2
Every step of the way
