Verse 1:
C                                G
She said I'm afraid of being a failure
     D                       Em
of kickin' it before I see Australia
     C                            G
Of livin' for the number on the scale
                          D
and never tasting real champagne

Verse 2:
C                            G
He said I'm afraid to be my father
           D                          Em
That the best of me's back at my Alma Mater
    C                                   G
He said he found true love but then he lost her
                     D
and it haunts him every day

Pre-chorus:
Em                      G
Got me thinking lately,   of the person I'll be
C                      D
I don't wanna let him down

Chorus:
         C             G              D              Em
When I die will I be proud, of who I was above the ground
         C             G               D
Will I really rest in peace, when I go out
            C             G                 D                  Em
Or will I want a second chance to fill that glass back up with sand
              C   G             D
For one more try,    oh when I die

Verse 3:
C                                   G
Still don't have a song out on the airwaves
        D                              Em
And I still haven't jumped out of an airplane
      C                                G
The days are passing way too fast how dare they
                 D
Life just ain't fair

Verse 4:
C                                 G
Doc told me to live more in the moment
       D                              Em
Don't waste all of your best years on hoping
    C                              G
Cuz if you ever get to where you're going
                             D
You won't feel like you're there

Chorus:
         C             G              D              Em
When I die will I be proud, of who I was above the ground
         C             G               D
Will I really rest in peace, when I go out
            C             G                 D                  Em
Or will I want a second chance to fill that glass back up with sand
              C   G             D
For one more try,    oh when I die

           C    G         D
Oh when I die,    when I die
           C    G         D
Oh when I die,    when I die

         C                  G                   D                 Em
When I die and leave this earth, will I leave more than just some dirt
         C             G                 D
Leave a life I know I lived for all its worth
            C             G                 D                  Em
Or will I want a second chance to fill that glass back up with sand
              C   G             D
For one more try,    oh when I die
