Kris Allen - Live Like Were Dying Acoustic

kris allen live like were dying

notes :
– this is meant to be acoustic!
– chords may not match recording of the original
– in the listening example there may be a capo on
the 1st fret
– sorry of all these musical variables i made this
tab rather quickly
– same rhythm through the whole song
– this is not supposed to be an interpretation
of the studio recording with kris allen
– this is just a total B . s . cover i made in A
few minutes and it’s nothing like the song
– will later on ( by may 2010 ) make a tab
that also incorporates the piano .

chords – E A D G B E

Cadd9 G Em7 D
sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
Cadd9 G Em7 D
we’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
Cadd9 G Em7 D
how come we don’t say i love you enough
Cadd9 G Em7 D ( mute slap )
till it’s too late , it’s not too late

verse 2 :
Cadd9 G Em7 D
our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
Cadd9 G Em7 D
we could make a feast from these crumbs
Cadd9 G Em7 D
and we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
Cadd9 G
so if your life flashed before you
Em7 D
what would you wish you would’ve done
yeah . . . gotta start

chorus : ( tambourine )
Cadd9 G
lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
Em7 D
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Cadd9 G
every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Em7 D
gotta live like we’re dying
we only got
caad9 G
86 400 seconds in a day to
Em7 D
turn it all around or throw it all away
Cadd9
we gotta tell ’em that we love ’em
G
while we got the chance to say
Em7 D
gotta live like we’re dying

verse 3 :
Cadd9 G Em7 D
and if your plane fell out of the skies
Cadd9 G Em7 D
who would you call with your last goodbyes
Cadd9 G Em7 D
should be so careful who we live out our lives
Cadd9 G
so when we long for absolution
Em7 D
there’ll no one on the line
yeah . . . gotta start

chorus : ( tambourine )
Cadd9 G
lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
