C   D   Em   D/F#


[Verse 1]
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


[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
           C
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
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
       C                                 D                                 G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

G    C    Em    C


[Verse 2]
 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
Well I finally read the Good Book
             B7/D#                           G/D           C          C            D
and I took a good long hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then...


[Chorus]
G
I went sky diving
           C
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
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
       C                                 D                                 G
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

     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


[Chorus]

A
I went sky diving
           D
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
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying
       D                                 E                                 A
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
                          A
To live like you were dying
