Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Brot[Bm]hers [Em]and sisters[C#dim]
[C]I'm feelin' real good 'cause
it ain't [Em]over
Right before I die I gotta live

[Verse 2]
Live out my [Em]dreams
So I can be what He planned for me
Not just for me but so they can see
Much more of Him and less of
Right before I die I gotta

[Verse 3]
[Em]Love [Bm]my enem[Em]ies, forgive the past
And set 'em free [Bm]so I [C]can fr[Bm]ee
[Em]Free up the things
Every blessing God has for me
See it's for me, not just for you
I had to learn from what I've been through
I can't go [Bm]through [Em]that way [Bm]again
[Em]Be hurt [Bm]by you that way again
[Em]It's not the end
I [Bm]used to

[Verse 4]
[Em]be afraid to d[Bm]ie[F#]
I used to [Em]be afraid to t[G]ry
'Cause I [Em]was too a[Am]fraid of knowing
[Bm]What failing looked like[D]
[Em]But the [Bm]sun came to give m[A]e l[Bm]ife[F#]
[Em]Now I feel like I can touch [G]the sky
I'm [Em]ready [F#]if y[Em]ou're ready

[Verse 5]
Get [Em]up and l[A]ive[Bm]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][B][Em][Bm][B][Em]
Right [Bm]now

[Verse 6]
[G][Em]
[F#]Get up a[Em]nd live[F#]
[Bm]Right now
[B][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Right[Em][Bm][B][Em]
be[Bm]fore I die I gotta
[Em]Change,

[Verse 8]
change [Bm]how I think
[Em]Change how I speak I'm not the same[Bm]
So when I speak
[Em]You [Bm]don't hear the pain
[Em]No longer weak with no o[Bm]ne to
[Em]Right before [Bm]I die I gotta
[Em]Become

[Verse 9]
more like you
Take up my cross
To coun[Bm]t the cost
'cause I was lost
That's why I praise you
You're the only God
[Em]I don't know what they do
I [F#]used to

[Verse 10]
[Em]be a[F#]fraid to[Em] die[F#]
[Em]I used to be afraid to try[G]
'Cause I [F#]was t[Bm]oo afraid
[Em]of k[Am]nowing[Bm]
What failing looked like
[Em]But the sun [C]came to give m[Em]e li[F#]fe
Now I [Em]feel like I can touch [G]the sky
[Bm]I'm [Em]ready if you're ready
[Bm]

[Interlude 2]
[D#m][Em][A][Bm][B][Em]

[Verse 11]
[Em]Right now
[Bm]Get up and l[D#m]ive[Em][Bm][Em][G]
[Bm][Em][Bm][A][Bm][D#m][Em]

[Verse 12]
Right [Bm]now[Em][Bm][Em]
So [A]the next time you think of [D]me
And you [G]wonder where would I [C#dim]be
[F#]Without each [B]blessing that
helped me [F#]to s[Em]ee
Life is [A]much more than thing[D]s
And how you [G]live is more than
how [C#dim]you sing
When I die what did I really [F#]mean,

[Interlude 3]
I mean
[F#][Bm][B][Em]

[Verse 13]
Say what [Em]now? Say [Bm]what?[B]
[Em]Say what now?[Bm]
[Em]As we proceed,
to give you what you [Bm]need
[B]Somebody, [Em]anybody,
everybody, scream
[Bm][Em]

[Verse 14]
[Bm]
I used to be afraid to [Em]die[F#]
I [A]used to be afraid [G]to try
[D]'Cause I was [Bm]too afraid
[Em]of k[Am]nowing
[Bm]What failing looked like[Em]
[Bm]But the sun came to give m[D]e [C#dim]life[F#]
Now I [A]feel like I can touch [Bm]the sky[G]
I'm [Bm]ready [Em]if y[Bm]ou're

[Em]I told you it ain't over for you
I see you liv[Bm]in'
[B]I see[Em] you makin' it, but you all
Right before I live I have to die
