              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
E5                             E5/Eb
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
         E5/D                               C5
How?s it hit ?cha when you get that kind of news, man what?cha do?

Chorus:
      G
I went sky diving
       Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em              D            Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      G                  B7                  Em   D                   Cadd9
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


              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


E5                                      E5/Eb
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look
            E5/D                    C5
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then?

Chorus:
       G
I went sky diving
       Cadd9
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em              D            Cadd9
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
      G                  B7                  Em   D                   Cadd9
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
     E5/Eb                            E5/D                              C
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you?d do?
with it
               Cm
What could you do with it
             Cdim
What could I do with it
             C
What would I do with it

Chorus:
       A
I went sky diving
       Dadd9
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               Dadd9
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying
                                        E                            A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
                      A        D
To live like you were dying
                      A        D
To live like you were dying
                      A        D
To live like you were dying
                      A        D
To live like you were dying
