I Got To Live chords by Sam Fischer

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
F          C         Am        G

 Verse 1:
             F                C
What would I say if one day I wake
         Am                        G
All of a sudden, I'm there at that gate
               F                    C
The end of my life, no time for goodbyes
             Am                    G       E
And I didn't get to try everything twice

Pre Chorus:
          F
I'd say, "Why'd it have to be me?
C

Why'd I have to go like this
Am
Know we hardly ever speak
   G
But you could've given me notice"
   F                       C
So thank God it's all in my head
         Am                         E
'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet

Chorus:
               F                 C
I hope I don't go before it's my time
             Am                        G    E
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
                 F                   C
My wife would be sad and keep asking why
                Am                                G     E
My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
                F                    Am
But I hope that someone remembers me well
                  C                        G
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
             F                C
Don't get to decide, but if I did
           Am G F              F
I wouldn't die before I got to live

C  Am   G
Mm, mm, mm

Verse 2:
        F              C
I wanna know what it's like
       Am           G    E
To see 91 candles alight
                  F                       C
Surrounded by the people who still love me
                 Am                  G
Even though I've never looked so ugly
                   F               C
It's the end of my life and that's fine
   Am                       E
At least I could say my goodbyes

Chorus:
               F                 C
I hope I don't go before it's my time
             Am                        G    E
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
                 F                   C
My wife would be sad and keep asking why
                Am                                G     E
My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
                F                    Am
But I hope that someone remembers me well
                  C                        G
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
             F                C
Don't get to decide, but if I did
           Am G F              F
I wouldn't die before I got to live

  C   Am  G
Mm, mm, mm, before I got to live
F  C  Am  G   E
Mm, mm, mm

Pre Chorus:
