Intro.:   ( B5 ) ( D5 )  ( A5 ) ( G5 )  x 2

There's a ( B5 )live oak tree you can ( D5 )still see off ( A5 )ol' one twenty-( G5 )nine
You can ( B5 )see the scars, its ( D5 )missin' bark where it ( A5 )stopped my truck that ( G5 )night
They say I ( B5 )took a swing at ( D5 )my best friend for ( A5 )tryin' to take my ( G5 )keys
Next ( B5 )thing I knew, I was ( D5 )upside down thinkin' ( A5 )this is it for ( G5 )me

(Chorus)
When you ( D5 )see life flash before your eyes, the ( A5 )good, the bad, the wrong, the right
( B5 ) Fade in-( A5 )to a bright white line ( G5 )shinin' down on you
You're ( D5 )hangin' on by a thread ( A5 )wonderin' which one's your last breath
( B5 )Knowin' ( A5 )there's so much you have left to ( G5 )do
You live your ( B5 )life a ( A5 )better man when you've ( G5 )been
( A5 ) Halfway to ( B5 )heaven ( D5 )  ( A5 ) ( G5 )

First ( B5 )thing I did was ( D5 )hug my momma, ( A5 ) I even hugged my ( G5 )dad
I ( B5 )told them both how ( D5 )much I love them , never ( A5 )saw daddy cry like ( G5 )that
Started ( B5 )hangin' out with ( D5 )my little brother, man I ( A5 )never missed a ( G5 )game
( B5 )I'm in church every ( D5 )Sunday morning, ( A5 )I pray every-( G5 )day

(Chorus)
When you ( D5 )see life flash before your eyes, the ( A5 )good, the bad, the wrong, the right
( B5 ) Fade in-( A5 )to a bright white line ( G5 )shinin' down on you
You're ( D5 )hangin' on by a thread ( A5 )wonderin' which one's your last breath
( B5 )Knowin' ( A5 )there's so much you have left to ( G5 )do
You live your ( B5 )life a ( A5 )better man when you've ( G5 )been
( A5 ) Halfway to ( G5 )heaven ( B5 ) ( A5 )

And I won't waste ( G5 ) ( B5 ) ( A5 ) one minute ( G5 ) ( B5 ) ( A5 )
Yeah, my life's changed ( G5 ) ( B5 ) ( A5 ) and I'm gonna live it

Like I'm ( D5 )hangin' on by a thread ( A5 )wonderin' which one's my last breath
( B5 )Knowin' ( A5 )there's so ( D5 )much I have ( A5 )left to ( G5 )do
I live my ( B5 )life a ( A5 )better man, ( G5 ) I live my ( B5 )life a ( A5 )better man ( G5 ) ( A5 ) ( G5 )
?Cause I've ( A5 ) been halfway to ( B5 )heaven ( D5 ) ( A5 ) ( G5 )
Halfway to ( B5 )heaven ( D5 )  ( A5 ) ( G5 ) -----
