C D C/E D/F# C D C/E D/F# (KEEP PLAYING INTO 1st VERSE)
VERSE:
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
C(9)
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
C(9)
and talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
Em Eb(sharp)
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do
CHORUS:
(and he said) I went sky diving
I went rocky mountain climbing
C(9)
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
C(9) Dsus
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you
C(9)
were 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 a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
C(9)
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the Good Book
Eb(sharp) G/D
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
C(9)
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying
Eb(sharp) G/D Cmaj9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do
with it and what did you do with it
what did I do with it
What would I do with it
Sky diving I went
Rocky mountain climbing
D(9)
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said, someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying
D(9) A
to live like you were dying (repeat a couple of times and fade)
