VERSE:
D/F#           G                         Cmaj9
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
      Em7                   D            C(9)
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
         G                    Cmaj9
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
Em7                    D           C(9)
and talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time

Em                                Eb(sharp)
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
         G/D                                       Cmaj9
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do

CHORUS:
                      G
(and he said) I went sky diving
       Cmaj9
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em7                D             C(9)
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 id been
    C(9)                                             Dsus
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you
      G        Em7             C(9)
were dying
Dsus            G                       Cmaj9
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
       Em7                 D
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
        G                            Cmaj9
And all a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
Em7                          D      C(9)
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Em
Well I finally read the Good Book
      Eb(sharp)                             G/D
and I took a good long hard look at what id do if I could do it all again
Cmaj9
and then...


Cmaj9    G
I went   sky diving
       Cmaj9
I went rocky mountain climbing
       Em7               D
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 id been
   C(9)
denying and he said some day I hope you get the chance
Dsus                    Em
to live like you were dying
        Eb(sharp)                        G/D                           Cmaj9
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do
                             D/C
with it and what did you do with it
            Cmaj9
what did I do with it

What would I do with it
A
Sky diving I went
Dmaj9
Rocky mountain climbing
       F#m7               E          D(9)
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man chu
       A                 C#7
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
      F#m         E
and I watched an eagle as it was flying

and he said, someday I hope you get the chance
Esus                   A
to live like you were dying
D(9)                   A
to live like you were dying (repeat a couple of times and fade)
