If today was your last day    (video)

 

    Am                           C                              G

1.        My best friend gave me the best advice,

                                                                        Am

    he said : Each day’s a gift and not a given right,

                                 C                                        G

    leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind,

                                                                Am

    and try to take the path less travelled by,

                                C                              G

    the first step you take is the longest stripe.

 

                                     F                                       C

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late,

                                                      G

could you say goodbye to yesterday ?

                                                              F

Would you live each moment like your last ?

                                          C

Leave old pictures in the past,

                                       G     - D  - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    Am  - C - G

donate every dime you have,      if today was your last day.

 

      Am                       C                                   G

2.         Against the grain should be a way of life,

                                                                       Am

    what’s worth the prize is always worth the fight.

                             C                                                G

    Every second counts ‘cause there’s no second try,

                                                    Am

    so live like you’ll never live it twice,

                            C                              G

    don’t take the free ride in your own life.

 

                                     F                                       C

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late,

                                                      G

could you say goodbye to yesterday ?

                                                              F

Would you live each moment like your last ?

                                          C                                          G

leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you have ?

                                                            F                                    C

Would you call old friends you never see, reminisce of memories,

                                             G

would you forgive your enemies ?

                                                                 F

Would you find that one you’re dreaminof,

                                                C                                      G

swear up and down to God above that you finally fall in love.

 

     D

+       If today was your last day.

D                                       C

     If today was your last day,

                                         G                              D

    would you make your mark by mending a broken heart ?

                                          C                                G

    You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars,

                             D

    regardless of who you are.

                                  C                                       G                     D

    So do whatever it takes, ‘cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life,

                                              C

    let nothing stand in your way

                                     G                     D

    cause the hands of time are never on your side.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                                        D

+  If today was your last day.
