Intro
[C] [D] [Em] [D/F#]
[C] [D] [Em] [D/F#]
Verse 1
[G]He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
[Cadd9]and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
[Em]I spent most of the next days looking at the [D]x-rays
[C]talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
[G]I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
[Cadd9]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]I went two point seven seconds on a [D]bull named Fu Man [C]Chu
[G]And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness [B7]I'd been [Em]denying[D]
[C]and he said some day I hope you get the chance to [D]live like you were dying
[G]
Verse 2
[G]He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
[Cadd9]And I became a friend a friend would like to have
[Em]And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an [D]imposition
[C]And I went three times that year I lost my dad
[Em]Well I finally read the Good Book
[B7/D#]and I took a good long hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all [G/D]again[C]
and then
Chorus
[G]I went sky diving
[C]I went rocky mountain climbing
[Em]I went two point seven seconds on a [D]bull named Fu Man [C]Chu
[G]And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness [B7]I'd been [Em]denying[D]
[C]and he said some day I hope you get the chance to [D]live like you were dying
Bridge
[B7]Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd [G]do with [Cadd9]it
[D]What could you do with it
[C]What could I do with it
[Cadd9]What would I do with it
Chorus (Final Key Change)
[A]I went sky diving

[A]
