              G                          Cadd9                   
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me 
      Em               D               Cadd9
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime 
        G                     Cadd9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Em                D           Cadd9         
talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
E5                             E5/Eb
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end 
         E5/D                               C5
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do

       G
I went sky diving
       Cadd9    
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em              D            Cadd9               
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      G                  B7                  Em   D                   Cadd9 
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying 
                                        D                            G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look 
at what id do if I could do it all again and then...

I went sky diving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying 
                                                                     E5
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
     E5/Eb                            E5/D                              C
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it
               Cm
What could you do with it
             Cdim
What could I do with it
             C
What would I do with it
(key change up whole step)
Chorus
To live like you were dying x 4
