My first tab! I'm a beginner so I think this is a little easier to play than the other 
versions I saw.
I know it's not perfect but I think it works for the most part!
Please leave comments and suggestions :)

Standard tuning. Capo 5


           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                         G
Just let it be what it is Coz it's so easy to say
          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


            C
You say the more you think
    G
You know what's right
    D
The less You do
         Em
What you feel inside
     C                    G
So I won't pretend that I always know
       D               Em
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
      C              G
And I may not always get it right
        Am
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this...

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