Intro
Verse 1
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do, and he said
Chorus
I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again, and then...
Chorus
I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
Bridge
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it
What could you do with it
What did I do with it
What would I do with it
(key change up whole step)
Chorus
Sky diving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said some day I hope you get the chance
Outro
to live like you were dying
to live like you were dying
to live like you were dying
to live like you were dyyyy.................ing
