G I was a little boy of nine years old, C The whole world in his hands G Trying to toss that ball across the yard, C A game of catch with my old man Am G He'd always say I'm sorry C every time he had to leave Am G/B And I was much to young to understand C When he would say to me Chorus: D C G When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine D C G There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye D C Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye G Am G C G Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die I was barely seventeen summer of seventy-nine Already I was feeling like I was running out of time I had this girl we fell in love Or should I say that she had me Then one fateful night changed our lives And made a memory Chorus: D C G When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine D C G There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye D C Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye Am G C And just before she kissed me she said G C You're gonna live before we die G C Live before you die Em C You learn to love to live Em C You fight and you forgive Em C You learn whats wrong and right Em D C Live before you die I made mistakes I caught some breaks But I got not regrets There's some things I don't remember But one thing I don't forget Chorus You learn to love to live You fight and you forgive You face the darkest night Just live before you die | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm C D Em G B |
