I noticed he pulls off and hammers on the second fret of the D string for the C chord
[Verse 1]
C If today was my last day C Am7 I'd call my mom out of the blue Am G Take the time the words the words I seldom do C I'd leave my suitcase in the closet C Am7 And tell the world it'll have to wait Am Then I'd take my little girl G On an ice cream date
[Chorus]
C What am I waiting for? C It ain't like I'm gonna live forever Am7 Am I don't wanna miss it anymore G So from now on it's now or never C Am7 I'm gonna hold on to what matters Am G C And let the rest slip through my hands C What I would do Am7 Is what I will do
While I can
C Am7 Am x2
[Verse 2]
C I'd bring home baby's favorite flowers C Am7 Leave my work outside the door Am And we'd laugh about how we both forgot G What we were mad at each other for C I'd let go of all my grudges C Am7 Make the choice to just forgive Am And spend the rest of my time free G From all this hate and bitterness
[Chorus]
C What am I waiting for? C It ain't like I'm gonna live forever Am7 Am I don't wanna miss it anymore G So from now on it's now or never C Am7 I'm gonna hold on to what matters Am G C And let the rest slip through my hands C What I would do Am7 Is what I will do
While I can
C Am7 Am x2
Am Am7 C G
[Verse 3]
C If today was my last day C Am7 And it was almost time to go Am I'd pick up that old bible G And I'd put down my phone C I'd watch the steam rise from my coffee C Am7 And the sun rise in the sky Am And I'd thank the Lord for one more chance G To try and get it right
[Chorus]
C What am I waiting for? C It ain't like I'm gonna live forever Am7 Am I don't wanna miss it anymore G So from now on it's now or never C Am7 I'm gonna hold on to what matters Am G C And let the rest slip through my hands C What I would do Am7 Is what I will do Am While I can C What I would do Am7 Is what I will do C While I can
