While I Can

Am – G/B C
if today was my last day
C – G F
i’d call my mom out of the blue
F – G
i’d take the time to say
Am G
the words i seldom do

Am – G/B C
i’d leave my suitcase in the closet
C – G F
and tell the world it’ll have to wait
F – G Am
then i’d take my little girl
G
on an ice cream date

reff :
F C
what Am i waiting for
G Am
it ain’t like i’m gonna live forever
F C
i don’t wanna miss it anymore
G
so , from now on it’s now or never

C
i’m gonna hold on to what matters
G – E/G# Am
and let the rest slip through my hands
F G
what i would do , is what i will do
( Am )
while i can

Am – G/B C
i’d bring home baby’s favorite flowers
C – G F
and leave my work outside the door
F – G Am
and we’d laugh about how we both forgot
G
what we were mad at each other for

Am – G/B C
i’d let go of all my grudges
C – G F
make the choice to just forgive
F – G Am
and spend the rest of my time free
G
from all this hate and bitterness

and the sun rise in the sky

and i’d thank the lord for one more chance
G
to try and get it right
