Live Like You Were Dying

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

I went [G]sky diving
I went [Cadd9]rocky mountain climbing
I went [Em]two point seven [D]seconds on a [Cadd9]bull named Fu Man Chu
And I [G]loved deeper and I [B7]spoke sweeter and I [Em]gave [D]forgiveness id been [Cadd9]denying
and he said some day I hope you get the [D]chance to live like you were [G]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
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were [E5]dying
Like [E5]tom[Eb]orrow was a gift and you got e[E5]ter[D]nity to think about what you'd [C]do with it
What could you [Cm]do with it
What could I [Cdim]do with it
What would I [C]do with it
(key change up whole step)
