[Intro]
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Cadd9 D
Em
F#m G
He said I was in my early forties
[Verse 1]
Cadd9
With a lot of life before me
Em D Cadd9
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime
G
I spent most of the next days,
Cadd9
lookin' at the xrays
Em D Cadd9
And talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
[Bridge]
Em
Asked him when it sank in
B7
That this might really be the real end
D
How's it hit you,
Cadd9
when you get that kind of news
Man what you do
He says
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
Cadd9
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
Em D Cadd9
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
G
And I loved deeper
B7
And I spoke sweeter
Em D Cadd9
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
D G
To live like you were dying
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
He said I was finally the husband
[Verse 2]
Cadd9
That most the time I wasn't
Em D Cadd9
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
G
And all the sudden going fishing
Cadd9
Wasn't such an imposition
Em D Cadd9
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
[Bridge]
Em
Well I finally read the good book
B7 D
And I took a good long hard look at what I'd do
Cadd9
If I could do it all again
And then
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
Cadd9
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
Em D Cadd9
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
G
And I loved deeper
B7
And I spoke sweeter
Em D Cadd9
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
D Em
To live like you were dying
[Bridge]
B7 D
Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
Cadd9
To think about what you do with it
What could you do with it,
What can I do with it,
What would I do with it
[Chorus]
A
Sky diving
Dadd9
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
F#m E Dadd9
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
A
And I loved deeper
C#7
And I spoke sweeter
F#m E Dadd9
And I watched an eagle as it was flying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
E A
To live like you were dying
Dadd9 A
To live like you were dying
Dadd9 A
To live like you were dying
Dadd9 A
To live like you were dying
Dadd9 A
To live like you were dying
[Outro Solo]

Woof
