Intro
C D G, C D G
Verse
Em G Cadd9 G
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
Em G Cadd9 G
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
Em G Cadd9 G
How come we don't say I love you enough
Em G Cadd9 G
Till it's too late.... it's not too late
(same for all verses)
Chorus
Yeah, we gotta start
C G
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
Em G
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
C G
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Em G
Gotta live like we're dying
C G
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Em G
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
C
We gotta tell them that we love them
G
While we got the chance to say
Em G
Gotta live like we're dying
(repeat for each chorus)
Em G C G
Like we're dying, oh.. like we're dying
Bridge
C G
You never know a good thing till it's gone
C G
You never see a crash till it's head on
C G
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
C G
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Hope this helps
Full Lyrics:
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's to late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you,
What would you wish you would've done
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution,
There'll no one on the line, yeah
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying..
