Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I've heard 'em say before to live just like you're dying, yeah

                              Am
Wish I could say that's how I am but I'd be lying, yeah

Em
Lying in my bed at night one too many times, I'm thinking

                  C
What if? (What if?) What if? (What if?)
[Verse 2]
G
My biggest fear is waking up to find what matters

                                   Am
Is miles away from what I spent my life chasing after

      Em
Is my story gonna have the same two words in every chapter?

                  C
What if? (What if?) What if? (What if?)
[Pre-Chorus]
    G                                        Am
But last I checked this heart inside my chest, is still beating

Em                               C
Well, I guess it's not too late
[Chorus]
           G
What if today's the only day I got?

                                       Am
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
No regrets, in the end

                   C
I wanna know I got no what-ifs

    G
I'm running 'til the road runs out

                                          Am
I'm lighting it up, I'm right here, right now, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
No regrets, in the end

                   C
I wanna know I got no what-ifs, yeah
G [Verse 3]
G
See I refuse to be a shoulda, woulda, coulda been

                           Am
I can't go back in time, I don't have a DeLorean

Em
What I'm tryna say is I don't wanna say these words again

        C
What if? What if?
[Pre-Chorus]
    G                                        Am
But last I checked this heart inside my chest, is still beating

Em                                  C
Well, I guess it's not too late, no no
[Chorus]
           G
What if today's the only day I got?

                                       Am
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
No regrets, in the end

                   C
I wanna know I got no what-ifs

    G
I'm running 'til the road runs out

                                          Am
I'm lighting it up, I'm right here, right now, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
No regrets, in the end

                   C
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
[Bridge]
           D                      Em
I'm gonna dream a little bigger, burn a little brighter

 C
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire

 D                    Em
Dig a little deeper, reach a little further

 C
Love a little harder

           D                      Em
I'm gonna dream a little bigger, burn a little brighter

 C
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire

 D                    Em
Dig a little deeper, reach a little further

 C
Love a little harder
[Chorus]
                  G
'Cause what if today's the only day I got?

                                       Am    N.C.
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
No regrets, in the end

                   C
I wanna know I got no what-ifs

    G
I'm running 'til the road runs out

No regrets, in the end

I wanna know I got no what-ifs, yeah
