Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying

this is my first tab and i know it isn’t perfect but i hope it helps

verse

G
he said i was in my early forties
C
with a lot of life before me
Em D C
when a moment came and stopped me on a dime
G C
i spent most of the next days
Em
looking at the x – rays
D
talking ’bout the options
C Em
talking ’bout sweet time
Em+7
i asked him when it sank in

that this might really be the real end
Em7 C
how’s it hit ya when you get that kind of news

man what’d you do

and he said

C with five down strums

chorus
G
i went skydiving
C
i went rocky mountain climbing
Em D C
i went 2 . 7 seconds on a bull named blue man chu
C
and i loved deeper
B
and i spoke sweeter
Em D C
and i gave forgiveness i’d been denying
C D
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
G
to live like you were dying

verse 2
G C
he said i was finally the husband

most the time i wasn’t
Em D
and i became the friend a friend would like to have
G
and all a sudden going fishin’
C
wasn’t such an imposition
Em D C
and i went three times that year i lost my dad
Em Em+7
i finally read the good books

and i took a good long hard look
Em7 C
at what i’d do if i could do it all again
