Verse

               G
he said I was in my early forties
        C
with a lot of life before me
         Em               D                   C
when a moment came and stopped me on a dime
          G                       C
I spent most of the next days
                       Em
looking at the x-rays
                    D
talking 'bout the options
    C                       Em
talking 'bout sweet time
                               Em+7
I asked him when it sank in

that this might really be the real end
         Em7                                 C
how's it hit ya when you get that kind of news

man what'd you do

and he said

C with five down strums

Chorus
          G
I went skydiving
      C
I went rocky mountain climbing
        Em    D           C
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named blue man chu
        C
and I loved deeper
        B
and I spoke sweeter
        Em       D                 C
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
        C                                       D
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
                        G
to live like you were dying

verse 2
                  G                 C
he said I was finally the husband

most the time I wasn't
       Em          D
and I became the friend a friend would like to have
            G
and all a sudden going fishin'
         C
wasn't such an imposition
        Em                    D             C
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
    Em                            Em+7
I finally read the good books

and I took a good long hard look
             Em7                      C
at what I'd do if I could do it all again

and then

Chorus
         G
I went skydiving
      C
I went rocky mountain climbing
        Em    D           C
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named blue man chu
        C
and I loved deeper
        B
and I spoke sweeter
        Em       D                 C
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
        C                                       D
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
                        G
to live like you were dying


Bridge
       Em
like tomorrow was a gift
               Em+7      Em7
and you got eternity to think about
            C
what you'd do with it
                D9
what could you do with it
            C
what did I do with it
              D9
what would I do with it

Chorus
   G
skydiving
                        C
I went rocky mountain climbing
        Em   D            C
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named blue man chu
        G
and I loved deeper
        D
and I spoke sweeter
         Em         D              C
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
         C                                      D
and he said someday I hope you get the chance

to live like you were dying
