Kris Allen – Live like We’re Dying
Notes:
-This is meant to be acoustic!
-Chords may not match recording of the original
-In the listening example there may be a capo on
the 1st fret
-sorry of all these musical variables i made this
tab rather quickly
-Same Rhythm through the whole song
-This is not supposed to be an interpretation
of the studio recording with Kris Allen
-This is just a total B.S. Cover i made in a
few minutes and it's nothing like the song
-Will later on (by May 2010) Make a tab
that also incorporates the piano.

Intro:
- - -
Verse 1:
sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
we're hiding behind skin that's too tough
how come we don't say I love you enough
Cadd9 G Em7 D (Mute Slap)
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Verse 2:
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
we could make a feast from these crumbs
and we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
so if your life flashed before you
what would you wish you would've done
Yeah... gotta start
Chorus: (tambourine)
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying
We only got
Caad9 G
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying
Verse 3:
And if your plane fell out of the skies
who would you call with your last goodbyes
should be so careful who we live out our lives
so when we long for absolution
there'll no one on the line
Yeah... gotta start
Chorus: (tambourine)
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying
We only got
Caad9 G
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying
Bridge:
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
Bridge 2:
We never know a good thing till it's gone
you never see a crash until it's head on
all those people right when we're dead wrong
you never know a good thing till it's gone
Chorus:
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying
Bridge:
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
Outro:
Cadd9 - G - Em7 - D - Cadd9 (Hold)
