          Em         C 
When I was a young boy
 G                       
I was living for the moment
D
The world was wide open
     Em      C
I had every choice
G
But with so many choices
  D
I just didn't know what to do now
 Em               C
All I say is just forget it
                G
If you tell me I'll regret it Just let it be what it is
D
Coz it's so easy to say
 G         C              Em
If I knew yesterday what I know today
D
Where would I be tomorrow
G               C
I won't let my soul slide away
       Em
I'd do whatever it takes
                     D    
Coz this time's only borrowed
      C          G         D
I got one life, one life, one life
 Em
And I'm gonna live it
      C         G         D
I got one life, one life, one life
 Em
And I'm gonna live it right
          Em        C
My daddy sat me down
         G                                D
He said "Son, it's probably time to start making some plans"
           Em             C
And I said "No, not right now"
     G
With so many choices
 D
I just didn't know what to do now
  Em                     C
All I say is just forget it
                     G
If you tell me I'll regret it
                        D
Just let it be what it is Coz it's so easy to say
 G         C               Em       
If I knew yesterday what I know today
              D
Where would I be tomorrow
G              C
I won't let my soul slide away
    Em
I'd do whatever it takes
                      D
Coz this time's only borrowed
      C         G         D  
I got one life, one life, one life
 Em
And I'm gonna live it
      C         G         D
I got one life, one life, one life
 Em
And I'm gonna live it right

You say the more you think
    Am              G
You know what's right
   C         Bm
The less you do
         Am         G
What you feel inside
     C     Bm             Am       G      
So I won't pretend that I always know
       C         Bm     Am          G
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
      C        Bm      Am      G
And I may not always get it right
     Bm                Am
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this...
 
     C        G         D
One life, one life, one life
 Em
I've got this one life
  G            C          Em
If I knew yesterday what I know today
  D
Where would I be tomorrow
  G                 C 
I won't let my soul slide away
       Em
I'd do whatever it takes
                        D
Coz this time's only borrowed
      C             G         D
I got one life, one life, one life
  Em
And I'm gonna live it
      C             G         D
I got one life, one life, one life
      Em
And I'm gonna live it right
         Em       C
When I'm an old man

Em, C, G, D x4

             G 
Hope I'll be rocking in my chair
 D
Smiling to myself
            Em        C
I'll tell my baby girl
        G          
You only got one life
D                               G
So make sure you live it right
