[Intro 1]

[Bb][C][Bb][C]

[Verse 1]
He said "I was [F]in my early forties
With a [Bb]lot of life before me
When a [Dm]moment came
that [C]stopped me on a [Bb]dime
I spent [F]most of the next days
[Bb]Looking at the x-rays
[Dm]And talkin' 'bout the opti[C]ons
And [Bb]talkin' 'bout sweet time"
[Dm]I asked him "When it sank in
[A]That this might really be the real end
How's it [F]hit you
When you get that kind of [Bb]news?
Man, what'd you do?"

[Chorus 1]
And he said "I went [F]skydiving
I [Bb]went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went [Dm]2.7 s[C]econds on a
[Bb]bull named Fumanchu
And I [F]loved deeper
And [A]I spoke sweeter
And [Dm]I gave forgi[C]veness
I'd been de[Bb]ny ing"
And he said
Someday I hope you get the [C]chance
To live like you were

[Interlude 1]
[F](dying)[Bb][Dm][Bb]

[Verse 2]
He said "I was [F]finally the husband
[Bb]That most of the time I wasn't
And I be[Dm]came a friend
a [C]friend would like to [Bb]have
And all of a [F]sudden going fishin'
Wasn't [Bb]such an imposition
And I [Dm]went three times
that [C]year I lost [Bb]my dad
Well [Dm]I, I finally read the Good Book, and I
[A]Took a good, long, hard look
At what I'd [F]do if I could do it all a[Bb]gain
And then

[Chorus 2]
I went [F]skydiving
I [Bb]went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went [Dm]2.7 s[C]econds on a
[Bb]bull named Fumanchu
And I [F]loved deeper
And [A]I spoke sweeter
And [Dm]I gave forgi[C]veness
I'd been de[Bb]ny ing"
And he said
Someday I hope you get the [C]chance
To live like you were

[Bridge 1]
[Dm](dying) Like to[A]morrow was a gift
And you've got e[F]ternity
To think about
What you'd [Bb]do with it
What could you [C]do with it
What did I [Bb]do with it?

[Chorus 3]
What would I do with it?
[G]Skydiving
I [C]went Rocky mountain climbing
I went [Em]2.7 s[D]econds
on a [C]bull named Fumanchu
Man, I [G]loved deeper
And [B]I spoke sweeter
And [Em]I watched an eag[D]le
as it was [C]flying"[D]
And he [C]said
"Someday I hope you get the [D]chance
To live like you were [G]dying[C]
To live like you were [G]dying[C]
[Repeat and fade]
