Am C/E F C Sometimes we fall down and 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 too late, it's not too late Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come 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 F Yeah, gotta start G Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here C/E F This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' If every second counts on a clock that's tickin' Gotta live like we're dying Chorus: Yeah, we got 86400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em 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 goodbyes Should be so careful who we let out of our lives Cause when we long for absolution There'll be no one on the line Yeah, gotta start Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if Every second counts on a clock that's tickin' Gotta live like we're dying Chorus: We only got 86400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em While we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying Like we're dying, oh Like we're dying Like we're dying, oh Like we're dying Chorus: We only got 86400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em While we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying You never know a good thing till it's gone You never see a crash until it's head on All these people right when we're dead wrong You never know a good thing till it's gone Yeah, gotta start Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if Every second counts on a clock that's tickin' Gotta live like we're dying Chorus: We only got 86400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em While we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying Like we're dying, oh Like we're dying Like we're dying, oh Like we're dying Chorus: We only got 86400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em While we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying Live like we're dying You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  E  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
