[Intro] Em D G Em D G [Verse 1]
G
 I spent the morning at an old friend's grave

G                                    D
 Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man

G
 He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels

G
 Never knowin' how the real thing feels

   D                               A
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D/F#                G             A
  And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye

D/F#           G                A
  Today is the first day of the rest of my life
[Chorus]
          Em                    D
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on

    G
And learn how to face my fears

          Em               D
Love with all of my heart, make my mark

  A
I wanna leave something here

   Bm                  A
Go out on a ledge, without any net

            G            E
That's what I'm gonna be about

                 G
Yeah, I wanna be runnin'

         A
When the sand runs out
[Break] Em D G [Verse 2]
G
'Cause people do it every day

G
Promise themselves they're gonna change

     D
I've been there,

G
But I'm changin' from the inside out

G
 That was then and this is now

      D                    A
I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D/F#             G                      A
   And when they carve my stone they'll write these words

D/F#            G                      A
   "Here lies a man who lived life for all that it's worth"
[Chorus]
          Em                    D
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on

    G
And learn how to face my fears

          Em               D
Love with all of my heart, make my mark

  A
I wanna leave something here

   Bm                  A
Go out on a ledge, without any net

            G            E
That's what I'm gonna be about

                 G
Yeah, I wanna be runnin'

         A             D
When the sand runs out
[Bridge]
           A
And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard

  G
I think I hear

    A                              Em D/F# G
The voice of my old friend whisper in my   ear
[Chorus] N.C. I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
                              G
And learn how to face my fears

D/F#       Em               D
 Love with all of my heart, make my mark

  A
I wanna leave something here

   Bm                  A
Go out on a ledge, without any net

            G              E
That's what I'm gonna be about

                 G
Yeah, I wanna be runnin'

         A         Bm A E
When the sand runs out
