[Intro]
C D C/E D/F# C D C/E D/F# (KEEP PLAYING INTO 1st VERSE)
[Verse]
D/F# G Cmaj9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
Em7 D C(9)
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
G Cmaj9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Em7 D C(9)
and talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
Em Eb(sharp)
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
G/D Cmaj9
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do
[Chorus]
G
(and he said) I went sky diving
Cmaj9
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em7 D C(9)
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 id been
C(9) Dsus
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you
G Em7 C(9)
were dying
Dsus G Cmaj9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
Em7 D
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
G Cmaj9
And all a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
Em7 D C(9)
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Em
Well I finally read the Good Book
Eb(sharp) G/D
and I took a good long hard look at what id do if I could do it all again
Cmaj9
and then...
Cmaj9 G
I went sky diving
Cmaj9
I went rocky mountain climbing
Em7 D
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 id been
C(9)
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance
Dsus Em
to live like you were dying
Eb(sharp) G/D Cmaj9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do
D/C
with it and what did you do with it
Cmaj9
what did I do with it
What would I do with it
A
Sky diving I went
Dmaj9
Rocky mountain climbing
F#m7 E D(9)
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man chu
A C#7
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
F#m E
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said, someday I hope you get the chance
Esus A
to live like you were dying
D(9) A
to live like you were dying (repeat a couple of times and fade)
