(capo 1st fret) 
 
 
Intro - C5 - F5 - G5 
 
 
(verse 1) 
C5           F5         G5 
I left for work in a hurry, 
C5               F5            G5 
Rushed out the door without sayin goodbye, 
         C5           F5               G5 
I didn't tell her I loved her this morning, 
                     D5 
but I'll tell her tonight, 
    F5           G5 
I thought to myself, 
 
(verse 2) 
       C5          F5               G5 
And as I hurried off toward the highway, 
      C5            F5             G5 
This truck out of nowhere caught me by surprise, 
    C5            F5             G5 
He missed me by inches and my life, 
                       D5 
Passed in front of my eyes, 
   F5                 G5 
I guess that's the reason that, 
 
(chorus) 
F5                                      C5 
They say, dance every dance and live, each day, 
                                   D5 
as though it's your last and tell those who you love, 
         F5                     G5 
how you feel, before it's too late, 
 F5        
Life is right here and now, 
C5                   A5  G5    F5 
We only go around, just, one, time, 
     F5     
So embrace and don't waste em , 
     G5                         C5 
For these are the days of our lives, 
 
(verse 2) 

AS soon as my legs stopped a shaken, 

I took a deep breath and turned my car around, 

Oh I'm gonna take that vacation, that we talked about, 

startin right now, 
 
(verse 3) 

Although I know tomorrow will be here, 

Tomorrow may not always be here for me, 

Cause nothin in life is for certain, 

But death's gauranteed, 

And that's the reason that, 
 
(chorus) 
F5                                   C5 
I say, dance every dance and live, each day 
                                   D5 
as though it's your last and tell those who you love, 
         F5                     G5 
how you feel, before it's too late, 
 F5        
Life is right here and now, 
C5                   A5  G5    F5 
We only go around, just, one, time, 
     F5     
So embrace and don't waste em , 
     G5                         C5 
For these are the days of our lives,
