Tim McGraw – Live Like You Were Dying
(Album: Live Like You Were Dying (2004))
C D Em D/F# {x2}
G / Cadd9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
Em D / C
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 / C
talking ’bout the options and talkin’ ’bout sweet time
Em B7/D#
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
G/D C C D
How’s it hit ‘cha when you get that kind of news, man what’cha do
G / C
I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing
Em D / C
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em D
& I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter & I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
C D
& he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
[Break] – G C Em C
G Cadd9
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn’t
Em D C
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 C
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Em B7/D#
Well I finally read the Good Book & I took a good long hard look G/D C C D
at what I’d do if I could do it all again & then…
G / C
I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing
Em D / C
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
G B7 Em D
& I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter & I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
C D
& he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
G B7 G Cadd9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you’d do with it
D
What could you do with it
C
What could I do with it
Cadd9
What would I do with it
A D
I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing
F#m E D
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
A C#7 F#m E
& I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter & I watched an eagle as it was flying
D E A
& he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
A
To live like you were dying
