Live Like You Were Dying
Tab by Chris Conner
[Intro]
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Cadd9 D Em D
[Verse 1]
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/D#
I asked him when it sank in that 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, and he said
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I went sky diving, 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 I'd been denying
D G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
G G G G
[Verse 2]
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/D#
Well I 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 Cadd9
I went sky diving, 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 I'd been denying
D Em
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Bridge]
E5/D# 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 did I do with it
C
What would I do with it
(key change up whole step)
[Chorus]
A
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
and he said some day I hope you get the chance
[Outro]
