[Intro]
C D Em D/F#
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
Em D C
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 C
talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
Em B7/D#
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
G/D C C D
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
C
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em D C
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em D
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
C D G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Break]
G C Em C
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
Em D C
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 C
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Em
Well I finally read the Good Book
B7/D# G/D C C D
and I took a good long hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then...
[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
C
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em D C
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em D
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
C D G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
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
[Chorus]
A
I went sky diving
D
I went rocky mountain climbing
F#m E D
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 flying
D E A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
A
To live like you were dying
