Intro: G5 D5 C5  G5 D5 C5 ... 

  G5         D5        C5          D5  
I heard it from a newborn baby 
  G5         D5          C5              D5 
Loud and clear in that first breath of air 
  G5         D5           C5             
I heard it when grandpa was dying 
       D5          G5     C5     D5 
it was faintly there 
       G5 D5 C5        G5 D5 C5 
Live now     Live now 
  

  G5          D5          C5         D5 
I guess it really is quite simple 
  G5          D5         C5         D5  
sometimes it's easier said then done 
  G5          D5                  C5          
but all the cool rain does is fall down  
     D5                    G5       C5         
and all the river does is run 
          D5 
and all we really have to do  
           G5 D5 C5       G5 D5 C5 
is live now    Live now 
   

  D5         A5          G5      A5 
We're not promised tomorrow  
         D5           A5         G5         A5  
like vapor these days here are fading away 
              D5           A5             C5  
maybe this time I'm holding you is borrowed 
          G5       D5       A5    
but every second by God's grace   
                  G5 D5 C5  
I'm gonna live now

     G5            D5                 C5      D5 
I've learned I can't control the future 
     G5            D5                  C5          D5 
I've learned I must forgive the past somehow 
     G5         D5            C5  
cause we are here only a moment  
     D5  
and life's too short to not  
        G5 D5 C5  
live now
