Live Like You Were Dying

G C9 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 C9 I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays Em D C talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time E Eb I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end D C How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do 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 C And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying D G and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't And I became a friend a friend would like to have And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition And I went three times that year I lost my dad Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look at what id do if I could do it all again and then... I went sky diving I went rocky mountain climbing I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it What could you do with it What could I do with it What would I do with it Chorus To live like you were dying x 4
