            G                          Cadd9                     
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me 
      Em7              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
Em7               Dsus4       Cadd9    
talking ‘bout the options and talkin’ ‘bout sweet time
Em7                            D
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end 
         Em7               Dsus4            Cadd9
How’s it hit ‘cha when you get that kind of news, man what’cha do?

Chorus:
      G
I went sky diving
       Cadd9    
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em7             Dsus4        Cadd9               
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      G                  B7                  Em7  Dsus4                   
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been 
Cadd9
denying 
                                        D                            G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying


              G                        Cadd9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn’t
      Em                D                    Cadd9
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
    G                     Cadd9
And all of a sudden going fishin’ wasn’t such an imposition
Em                          D              Cadd9        
And I went three times that year I lost my dad

Bridge:
E5                                      E5
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look 
            D                       C5
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then…

Chorus:
       G
I went sky diving
       Cadd9 
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em7             Dsus4        Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      G                  B7                  Em7  Dsus4                    
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been 
Cadd9

                                                                     E5
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
     Em                              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:
       A
I went sky diving
       Dadd9    
I went rocky mountain climbing
       F#m             E            Dadd9               
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      A                  C#7                 F#m        E               Dadd9 
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying
                                        E                            A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
                      A        D  
To live like you were dying 
                      A        D 
To live like you were dying
                      A        D 
To live like you were dying
                      A        D 
To live like you were dying
