Verse 1:
   FF        C majorC
If today was my last day
       G+G       A minorAm
I'd call my mom out of the blue
 FF             C majorC      G+G
Take the time to say the words I seldom do
        FF        C majorC
I'd leave my suitcase in the closet
        G+G         A minorAm
And tell the world it'll have to wait
      FF       C majorC
Then I'd take my little girl
         G+G
On an ice cream date

Chorus:
      FF    C majorC
What am I waiting for?
      G+G           A minorAm
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
        FF     C majorC
I don't wanna miss it anymore
      G+G
So from now on it's now or never
      FF        C majorC
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
       G+G          FF
And let the rest slip through my hands
     FF
What I would do
      G+G
Is what I will do
     C majorC
While I can


Verse 2:
         FF       C majorC
I'd bring home baby's favorite flowers
      G+G        A minorAm
Leave my work outside the door
      FF         C majorC
And we'd laugh about how we both forgot
       G+G
What we were mad at each other for
    FF       C majorC
I'd let go of all my grudges
      G+G        A minorAm
Make the choice to just forgive
        FF        C majorC
And spend the rest of my time free
        G+G
From all this hate and bitterness

Chorus:
      FF    C majorC
What am I waiting for?
      G+G           A minorAm
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
        FF     C majorC
I don't wanna miss it anymore
      G+G
So from now on it's now or never
      FF        C majorC
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
       G+G           FF
And let the rest slip through my hands
     FF
What I would do
      G+G
Is what I will do
     C majorC
While I can



Verse 3:
   FF        C majorC
If today was my last day
       G+G      A minorAm
And it was almost time to go
   FF        C majorC
I'd pick up that old bible
   G+G
And I'd put down my phone
        FF         C majorC
I'd watch the steam rise from my coffee
     G+G       A minorAm
And the sun rise in the sky
     FF         C majorC
And I'd thank the Lord for one more chance
  G+G
To try and get it right


Chorus:
      FF    C majorC
What am I waiting for?
      G+G           A minorAm
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
        FF     C majorC
I don't wanna miss it anymore
      G+G
So from now on it's now or never
      FF        C majorC
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
       G+G          FF
And let the rest slip through my hands
     FF
What I would do
      G+G
Is what I will do
     A minorAm
While I can

     FF
What I would do
      G+G
Is what I will do
     C majorC
While I can
