Chord While I Can - Matthew West

Am     -G/B       C
if today was my last day
            C      -G      F
i'd call my mom out of the blue
             F      -G
i'd take the time to say
    Am             G
the words i seldom do

             Am      -G/B    C
i'd leave my suitcase in the closet
             C          -G       F
and tell the world it'll have to wait
         F      -G          Am
then i'd take my little girl
                G
on an ice cream date

[Reff]
           F       C
 what am i waiting for
          G                      Am
 it ain't like i'm gonna live forever
               F          C
 i don't wanna miss it anymore
              G
 so, from now on it's now or never

           C
 i'm gonna hold on to what matters
             G        -E/G#       Am
 and let the rest slip through my hands
        F                   G
 what i would do, is what i will do
        (Am)
 while i can

Int. Am -G/B C
     C -G F

          Am         -G/B      C
i'd bring home baby's favorite flowers
             C      -G        F
and leave my work outside the door
         F     -G           Am
and we'd laugh about how we both forgot
             G
what we were mad at each other for

        Am   -G/B     C
i'd let go of all my grudges
         C        -G       F
make the choice to just forgive
              F      -G       Am
and spend the rest of my time free
              G
from all this hate and bitterness

[Reff]
               F       C
 so, what am i waiting for
          G                      Am
 it ain't like i'm gonna live forever
               F          C
 i don't wanna miss it anymore
              G
 so, from now on it's now or never

           C
 i'm gonna hold on to what matters
             G        -E/G#       Am
 and let the rest slip through my hands
        F                   G
 what i would do, is what i will do
        (Am)
 while i can

Int. Am  -G/B   C
     hu.. hu.. hu..
     C   -G    F
     hu.. hu.. hu..
     F   -G    Am   G
     hu.. hu.. hu.. hu..

     Am     -G/B      C
if today was my last day
           C     -G       F
and it was almost time to go
    F      -G        Am
i'd pick up that old bible
        G
and i'd put down my phone

              Am        -G/B     C
i'd watch the steam rise from my coffee
        C       -G         F
and the sun rise in the sky
        F        -G        Am
and i'd thank the lord for one more chance
   G
to try and get it right

[Reff]
           F       C
 what am i waiting for
          G                      Am
 it ain't like i'm gonna live forever
               F          C
 i don't wanna miss it anymore
              G
 so, from now on it's now or never

           C
 i'm gonna hold on to what matters
             G        -E/G#       Am
 and let the rest slip through my hands
        F                   G
 what i would do, is what i will do
         Am
 while i can

        F                   G
 what i would do, is what i will do
         C
 while i can
