Intro: Am F C G


Verse 1:         
         Am        F
When I was a young boy
      C
I was living for the moment
    G
The world was wide open
    Am          F
I had every choice
   C
But with so many choices
        G
I just didn't know what to do now
 Am             F
All I say is forget it
                      C
If you tell me I'll regret it
 
Just let it be what it is
 G
Coz it's so easy to say 


Chorus:
C         F                Am          G
If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow
 C               F              Am
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
                       G
Coz this time's only borrowed 
F               C         G         Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it
F               C         G        Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right
 

Verse 2:
        Am         F    
My daddy sat me down, 
        C                          G
he said "Son it's probably time to start making some plans"
           Am              F
And I said "No, not right now"
       C
With so many choices
   G
I just didn't know what to do now
  Am             F                               
All I'd say is forget it 
                       C
When he'd tell me I'd regret it 

Just let it be what it is, 
G
Coz it's so easy to say 


Chorus:
 C         F              Am            G
If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow
C         F                     Am 
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
                         G
Coz this time's only borrowed 
     F           C        G            Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it
     F           C        G            Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right 


Bridge:
            F                 C
You say the more you think you know what's right
    G                     Am
The less you do what you feel inside
      F                 C
So I won't pretend that I always know
       G                Am
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
     F                 C
And I may not always get it right
       Bb
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this... 

F         C         G         Am                 F    C   G 
One life, one life, one life, I've got this one life

Chorus: 
 C         F              Am            G
If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow
C              F                Am            
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
                           G
Coz this time's only borrowed 
      F          C        G            Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it
      F          C        G            Am
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right 

Verse 3:
       Am        F        
When I'm an old man, 
              C
hope I'll be rocking in my chair 
 G
Smiling to myself 
            Am      F
I'll tell my baby girl
           C            D
"You only get one life, so make sure you live it right"
