[Intro] Cadd9 D x4 [Verse 1]
            G                          Cadd9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me

      Em               D               Cadd9
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime

        G                     Cadd9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays

Em                Dsus4       Cadd9
talking ‘bout the options and talkin’ ‘bout sweet time

Em                             B7
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end

          G                                 Cadd9
How’s it hit ‘cha when you get that kind of news, man what’cha do?
[Chorus]
      G
I went sky diving

       Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing

       Em              Dsus4        Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

      G                  B7                  Em   Dsus4
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been

 Cadd9
denying

                                        D                            G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Verse 2]
              G                        Cadd9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn’t

      Em                D                    Cadd9
And I became a friend a friend would like to have

    G                                    Cadd9
And all of a sudden going fishin’ wasn’t such an imposition

      Em                    D              Cadd9
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
[Bridge]
       Em                                       B7 
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look

            G                        Cadd9
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then…
[Chorus]
       G
I went sky diving

       Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing

       Em              Dsus4        Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

      G                  B7                  Em   Dsus4               Cadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying

                                        D                             Em
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Bridge]
     B7                              G                                  Cadd9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you’d do with it?

               D
What could you do with it

             C
What could I do with it

             Cadd9
What would I do with it
(Key Change - Whole Step Up) [Chorus]
       A
I went sky diving

       Dadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing

       F#m             E            Dadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

      A                  C#7                 F#m        E               Dadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying

                                        E                            A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

                      A        D
To live like you were dying

                      A        D
To live like you were dying

                      A        D
To live like you were dying

                      A        D
To live like you were dying
