He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
Am G Fadd9
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
F Fadd9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Am G Fadd9
talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
A5 A5/G#
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
A5/G F5
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do
F
I went sky diving
Fadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
Am G Fadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
F E7 Am G Fadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying
G F
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look
at what id do if I could do it all again and then...
I went sky diving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying
A5
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
A5/G# A5/G F
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it
Fm
What could you do with it
Fdim
What could I do with it
F
What would I do with it
(key change up whole step)
Chorus
To live like you were dying x 4
