Live Like We’re Dying
Kris Allen
[Intro] [Am] [C] [F] [C] (Basically plays the entire song except for the chorus.)
Verse 1
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
How come we don’t say I love you enough
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
Till it’s too late, it’s not too late
Verse 2
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
We could make a feast from these crumbs
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
[Am] [C] [F] [C]
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would’ve done
Pre-Chorus
[F] [G] [C/E] [F]
Yeah… gotta start
Chorus 1
Looking at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin’ it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
Chorus 2
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Verse 3](Continued after the jump)
Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there’ll be no one on the line
Chorus 1
Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
Chorus 2
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
Bridge
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Chorus 2
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
Bridge 2
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we’re dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it’s gone
Chorus
Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
Chorus 2
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
Bridge
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Chorus 2
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
