Intro: ( Am F C G ) (2x) 

          Am         F  
When I was a young boy 
 C                        
I was living for the moment 
G 
The world was wide open 
     Am      F 
I had every choice 
C 
But with so many choices 
  G 
I just didn't know what to do now 
 Am               F 
All I say is just forget it 
                C 
If you tell me I'll regret it Just let it be what it is 
G 
Coz it's so easy to say 
 C         F              Am 
If I knew yesterday what I know today 
G 
Where would I be tomorrow 
C               F 
I won't let my soul slide away 
       Am 
I'd do whatever it takes 
                     G     
Coz this time's only borrowed 
      F          C         G 
I got one life, one life, one life 
 Am 
And I'm gonna live it 
      F         C         G 
I got one life, one life, one life 
 Am 
And I'm gonna live it right 
          Am        F 
My daddy sat me down 
         C                                G 
He said "Son, it's probably time to start making some plans" 
           Am             F 
And I said "No, not right now" 
     C 
With so many choices 
 G 
I just didn't know what to do now 
  Am                     F 
All I say is just forget it 
                     C 
If you tell me I'll regret it 
                        G 
Just let it be what it is Coz it's so easy to say 
 C         F               Am        
If I knew yesterday what I know today 
              G 
Where would I be tomorrow 
C              F 
I won't let my soul slide away 
    Am 
I'd do whatever it takes 
                      G 
Coz this time's only borrowed 
      F         C         G   
I got one life, one life, one life 
 Am 
And I'm gonna live it 
      F         C         G 
I got one life, one life, one life 
 Am 
And I'm gonna live it right 
      

        F            Em  
You say the more you think 
    Dm              C  
You know what's right 
   F         Em  
The less you do 
         Dm         C  
What you feel inside 
     F     Em             Dm       C        
So I won't pretend that I always know 
       F         Em     Dm          C  
I just follow my heart wherever it goes 
      F        Em      Dm      C  
And I may not always get it right 
                  Dm  
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this... 

     F        C         G 
One life, one life, one life 
 Am 
I've got this one life 
  C            F          Am 
If I knew yesterday what I know today 
  G 
Where would I be tomorrow 
  C                 F  
I won't let my soul slide away 
       Am 
I'd do whatever it takes 
                        G 
Coz this time's only borrowed 
      F             C         G 
I got one life, one life, one life 
  Am 
And I'm gonna live it 
      F             C         G 
I got one life, one life, one life 
      Am 
And I'm gonna live it right 
         Am       F 
When I'm an old man 
             C  
Hope I'll be rocking in my chair 
 G 
Smiling to myself 
            Am        F 
I'll tell my baby girl 
        C           
You only got one life 
G                               C 
So make sure you live it right
