Kris Allen – Live like We’re Dying

Notes:
-This is meant to be acoustic!
-Chords may not match recording of the original
-In the listening example there may be a capo on
 the 1st fret
-sorry of all these musical variables i made this
 tab rather quickly
-Same Rhythm through the whole song
-This is not supposed to be an interpretation
 of the studio recording with Kris Allen
-This is just a total B.S. Cover i made in a
 few minutes and it's nothing like the song
-Will later on  (by May 2010) Make a tab 
 that also incorporates the piano.

Intro:
Cadd9 - G - Em7 - D

Verse 1:
Cadd9        G         Em7           D
sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
Cadd9        G      Em7         D
we're hiding behind skin that's too tough
Cadd9       G           Em7      D
how come we don't say I love you enough
Cadd9               G Em7            D   (Mute Slap)
Till it's too late,   it's not too late

Verse 2:
Cadd9          G            Em7       D
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
Cadd9    G      Em7              D
we could make a feast from these crumbs
Cadd9         G                Em7    D
and we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
Cadd9                   G
so if your life flashed before you
               Em7               D
what would you wish you would've done
Yeah... gotta start

Chorus: (tambourine)
Cadd9                     G
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
Em7                       D
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Cadd9                    G
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Em7                   D
gotta live like we're dying
We only got
Caad9  G
86 400 seconds in a day to
Em7                   D
turn it all around or throw it all away
Cadd9
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
         G
while we got the chance to say
    Em7                D
gotta live like we're dying

Verse 3:
Cadd9             G      Em7    D  
And if your plane   fell out of the skies
Cadd9         G         Em7       D
who would you call with your last goodbyes
Cadd9        G              Em7          D  
should be so careful who we live out our   lives
Cadd9                    G
so when we long for absolution
Em7                    D
there'll no one on the line
Yeah... gotta start

Chorus: (tambourine)
Cadd9                     G
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
Em7                       D
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Cadd9                    G
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Em7                   D
gotta live like we're dying
We only got
Caad9  G
86 400 seconds in a day to
Em7                   D
turn it all around or throw it all away
Cadd9
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
         G
while we got the chance to say
    Em7                D
gotta live like we're dying

Bridge 2:
Cadd9                                G
We never know a good thing till it's gone
                Em7                   D
you never see a crash until it's head on
                 Cadd9                 G
all those people right when we're dead wrong
                 Em7                  D
you never know a good thing till it's gone

Chorus:
Cadd9                     G

this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Cadd9                    G
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Em7                   D
gotta live like we're dying

Bridge:
Cadd9       G     Em7            D
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying

Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
