[Intro] |G Gsus2 |C | 2x [Verse]
G                     Gsus2                 C
I was a little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands

G                          Gsus2                     C
Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man

Am                   G           C
He'd always say I'm sorry every time he had to leave

Am                         G                C
And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me
[Chorus]
D                                       C                  G
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine

D                                          C            G
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

D                                C      
Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye

G           Am  G        Cadd9                          G  Gsus2  C
Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die
[Instrumental] |G Gsus2 |C | [Verse]
G                 Gsus2      C
I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine

G              Gsus2              C
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time

Am                  G                         C
I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me

          Am            G                     C
Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory 
[Chorus]
D                                       C                  G                  
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine 

          D                                C             G                   
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

     D                                 C                   G                  
She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye

     Am              G               Cadd9                                       
And just before she kissed me she said 

                           G    Gsus2  C                                            
You're gonna live before we die

                 G   Gsus2  C 
Live before you die

[Instrumental] |G Gsus2 |C | [Verse]
      G                 Gsus2                 C
I've made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but I've got no regrets

              G              Gsus2            C
Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget
[Chorus]
D                                       C                  G
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine

D                                          C             G
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

D                                    C                  
Shout it out let someone somewhere know that your alive 

G           Am  G          Cadd9                            G  Gsus2  C
Take these words wear them well, you gotta live before you die

                 G   Gsus2  C 
Live before you die

               G   Gsus2  C 
Live before you die

     Em               C5  D5 E5 F#5 G5 A5
You learn to love to live

     Em               C5  D5 E5 F#5 G5 A5
You fight and you forgive

     Em               C5  D5 E5 F#5 G5 A5
You face the darkest night 

      Em     D        C
Just live before you die
