Simak lirik dan chord lagu "Live Like You Were Dying" oleh Tim McGraw.
[Verse 1]
G C
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 C
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 B
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
G C
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 B
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
Em D C
And I gave forgiveness I'dd been denying
D
and he said some day I hope you get the chance
G
to live like you were dying
[Verse 2]
G C
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 C
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 B
Well I finally read the Good Book and I took a good long hard look
G C
at what I'd do if I could do it all again and then
[Ulangi Chorus]
[Bridge]
B G
Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
C
To think about what you do with it
C
What could you do with it, what can
C
I do with with it, 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#
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
F#m E D
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
E
and he said some day I hope you get the chance
A
to live like you were dying
[Outro]
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
A D
To live like you were dying
