Capo 3rd fret
Intro
[G] [D] [Em7] [C]
Verse 1
[G] [D]
I should've known I wouldn't die young
[Em7]
Only the good ones do
[C]
I played with the devil's fire
[G]
And somehow made it through
[D]
I've had more second chances
[Em7]
Than a boy like me should get
[C]
But every day I thank God
[C]
He wasn't done with me yet
Chorus
[G] [D]
I thought I'd be gone by now
[Em7]
Nothing but a name carved in stone
[C]
But heaven sent an angel
[G]
Instead of calling me home
[D]
And, girl, you came along
[Em7] [C]
And made a boy who never thought he'd live this long
[G] [D]
Wanna live forever and ever, and ever
[Em7] [C]
Made me wanna live forever and ever, and ever
Verse 2
[G] [D]
I've never known a love like this
[Em7]
My lost got found with you
[C]
Think of all I would've missed
[C]
If I left too soon
Chorus
[G] [D]
I thought I'd be gone by now
[Em7]
Nothing but a name carved in stone
[C]
But heaven sent an angel
[G]
Instead of calling me home
[D]
And, girl, you came along
[Em7] [C]
And made a boy who never thought he'd live this long
[G] [D]
Wanna live forever and ever, and ever
[Em7] [C]
Made me wanna live forever and ever, and ever
Bridge
[G]
And never see the end
[D]
At least live long enough
[Em7] [C]
To get to watch our babies raise some babies up
Chorus
[G] [D]
I thought I'd be gone by now
[Em7]
Nothing but a name carved in stone
[C]
But heaven sent an angel
[G]
Instead of calling me home
[D]
And, girl, you came along
[Em7] [C]
And made a boy who never thought he'd live this long
[G] [D]
Wanna live forever and ever, and ever
[Em7] [C]
Made me wanna live forever and ever, and ever
Outro
[G] [D]
Made me wanna live forever and ever, and ever
[Em7] [C] [G]
You make me wanna live forever and ever, and ever
