              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                 D|          Cadd9
  talking ‘bout the options and talkin’ ‘bout sweet time
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                              B7
 I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end

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

  Cadd9            Cadd9                        D
Denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were

G    Cadd9 G Cadd9 (whole note)
dying
[Verse]
              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
[Pre-Chorus]
      Em                               B7
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look

            G                        Cadd9        (build)
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then…
[Chorus]
       G                 Cadd9
I went sky diving. 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 I’d been denying

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

               D                        C                        Cadd9 (build)
What could you do with it? What could I do with it? What would I do with it?
[Chorus]
       A                 Dadd9
I went sky diving. 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|
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was

Dadd9 Dadd9
flying

           Dadd9                        E                            A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

D                      A
 To live like you were dying (repeat a lot and sometimes stretch out “dying”)
