He said I was in my ear-ly fort-ies
3    -3  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  3   3  -3 
with  a  lot of life be-fore me,when a 
-4 -4    -4   -4   -4    -3  3 2 -4
mo-ment came that stoped me on a dime.

I spent most of the next days
 -4  -4  -4 -4 -4  3    3   -4 -4    -4
look-ing at the x-rays and talking ‘bout
 -4  -4  3   3  -4 -3    -4    -5  -4  -3  3 
the options and talking ‘bout the time


3  -4   -5   -5  -4  -5  -4 
I Asked him when it sank in
-3    3    -3    -3  3  -3  3   -4  -3 
That this might real-ly be the real end
 -3    3 -4   -1  -3   3  -4   -3   3   -1  -4
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?

I  Went sky div-ing I went
 -4 -5 -5    -4    -5  -4  -3  3   -4   -5   -5 -4
Rock-y moun-tain climb-ing, I went two point sev-en 
 -5  3   -5 -4  -5   -5   -5  -5  3   -4 -5
sec-onds on  a bull named Fu Man-chu. And I
 -5    -5  -4 -3  3  <-5   <-5 -4  -3  3  6
loved deep-er and I spoke sweet-er and I gave
 -5   6   -4  -4   5   -5 -5  3 
for-give-ness I’d been de-ny-ing
 2 -1    2     5   5  5  5   -4  -3   3   -1 
and he said “some day I hope you get the chance
-1  -5   -4  -3    3  -3  3
To live like you were dy-ing”.

He said “I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn’t
and I became a friend a friend would like to have.
all ‘a sudden goin’ fishin’, wasn’t such and 
imposition and I went three times that year I lost my dad
I fin’lly read the Good Book and I took a good 
long hard look at what I’d do if i could do it all again
