Live Like You Were Dying

G                                 
He said I was in my early forties 
C9
with a lot of life before me
          Em                D     
and a moment came that stopped me 
        C
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                   
How's it hit 'cha when you get that
                  C
 kind of news, man what'cha do

G
I went sky diving

           C
I went rocky mountain climbing
           Em             D       
I went two point seven seconds on 
        C
a bull named Fu Man Chu
           G                  
And I loved deeper and I spoke 
       B7                  Em     
sweeter and I gave forgiveness id 
D                             C
been denying
and he said some day I hope you get 
     D                          
the chance to live like you were 
       G
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
