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  
   I asked him when it sank in that    this might really be the real end
         E5                                 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                  
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I    gave forgiveness I'd been denying
Cadd9                                        D                            G
     and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

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  
Well I    I finally read the Good Book and I   took a good long hard look
            E5                         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               
And I loved deeper and I   spoke sweeter and I   gave forgiveness I'd been
   Cadd9
denying
                                        D                            Em
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

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

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
