One Life

F       Am G       F

[Verse 1]
                 C
How was she to know
       G                   F
As she ran and slammed the door
                           C
That the angry words she spoke
Were the last words she would 
F
breathe
               Am       G
How was she to see eternity
  F
Between the red light and the green

It all ended suddenly


[Chorus]
Am                    G
Cause tomorrow isn't promised
               F
All we have is one life, is one time

To live and love and make it right
Am           G
Yesterday is written
               F
All we have is right now, is right 
now

To celebrate this one and only life


[Verse 2]
                    C
He always loved the rain
        G                 F
And the sound of a thunderstorm
                   C
He had to look for cover
Continues after the ad
       G                   F
As the wave overtook the shore
               Am             G
He watched helplessly as everything 
he owned
    F
And everyone he'd ever known

In a moment was all gone


[Chorus]
Am                    G
Cause tomorrow isn't promised
               F
All we have is one life, is one time

To live and love and make it right
Am           G
Yesterday is written
               F
All we have is right now, is right 
now
To celebrate this one and only life
  Am G F



[Bridge]
                      G
Sometimes we can't control
        C                 F
When or where or how life goes
                     G
We live our life for love
       C                  F
We can dream and pray and hope


[Verse 3]
                       C
She dropped him off at school
       G                  F
As she kissed her son goodbye
                     C
Was no way she would know
         G                     F
It would be for the very last time
               Am               
Later came the news, the violent 
 G
tragedy
    F
The whole town prays how could this 
be?

How could this be?


[Chorus]
Am                    G
Cause tomorrow isn't promised
               F
All we have is one life, is one time

To live and love and make it right
Am           G
Yesterday is written
               F
All we have is right now, is right 
now

To celebrate this one and only
Am
Life is too short gotta make it 
right
G
Yesterday's gone and all we got
   F
Is right now, is right now

To celebrate this one and only
Am
Life is too short gotta make it 
right
G
Yesterday's gone and all we got
   F
Is right now, is right now
