[Intro]-Bbm F# C#2 G#
Bbm F# Bbm
He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
F# C#2 G#
Until he started praying for, a second chance
Bbm F#
If he could only do it all again
Bbm F# C#2
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
G#
For all he missed
Bbm F#
He tells his wife, "I wish that this moment in this room
Bbm G# F#
was not me dying, but just spending a little time with you."
Chorus
C#2
You only get just one time around
Eb2
You only get one shot at this
Bbm
One chance, to find out
F#
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
C#2
One day when it's all said and done
Eb2
I hope you see that it was enough, this
Bbm F#
One ride, one try, one life to love
Bbm F# C#2 F#
Bbm F# Bbm
She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
F# C#2
That held on tight the day she left
G#
Till she was scared to death
Bbm F# Bbm
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
F# C#2
The sun had set on her big plans
G#
To feel young again
Bbm F#
She picks up the phone, dials the number, hears that little voice
Bbm G# F#
That's haunted every single mile, since she made that choice
