[Am] [F] [C]
[G] [A] [F] [C]
[G] I [Am] was a young
[F] boy, [C] I was living for [G] the moment, the world was wide [A] open, I had [F] every choice.
[C] So many choices, [G] I just didn't know what to do [Am] now.
All it says is [F] forget it, when you tell [C] me I regret it, let it be [G] what it is, cause it's
so [Am] easy to [C] say.
If [F] I knew yesterday, [Am] would I know [C] today, where would I be tomorrow?
Let [F] my soul slide [Am] away and do whatever it takes, cause this time's only [Em] borrowed.
[F] I got one [C] life, one [G] life, one [Am] life, and I'm gonna live it.
I [F] got one [C] life, one [G] life, one life, [Am] and I'm gonna live it right.
My daddy sat [F] me down, [C] he said, son it's probably [G] time to stop making some plans.
I [Am] said no, [F] not right now.
[C] With so many choices [G] I just didn't know what to do [Am] now.
All they [F] say is to get it, but they tell me [C] I regret it, let it [G] be what it is, [Am] cause it's so [C] easy to say.
If I [F] knew yesterday, would [Am] I know today, [G] where would I be tomorrow?
[C] [F] Won't let my soul slide away, [Am] do whatever it takes, cause this time's only [G] borrowed.
[F] I got one [C] life, one [G] life, one life, [Am] and I'm gonna live [F] it.
I got one [C] life, one life, [G] one [Am] life, and I'm gonna live it right.
[F] They say the more [E] you think [D] you know [C] what's right, [F] the [Em] less you [Dm] do what you feel [C] [F] inside.
So I [Em] won't [Dm] pretend that I [C] always know, [F] I just [Em] follow my heart [D] wherever [C] it goes.
[F] And I [Em] may not [Dm] always get [C] it [Eb] right, but at least I'm living [Dm] cause I only [F] got this one [C] life.
[G]
One life.
[Am] [C] [F] I got one [C] life.
[G] Oh, [C]
if I knew [F] yesterday, [Am] would I know today, [C] where would I be tomorrow?
[F] Won't let my soul slide away, [Am] do whatever it takes, cause this time's [C] only borrowed.
[F] I got one [C] life, one [G] life, one [Am] life, and I'm gonna [G] live it.
[F] I got one [C] life, one [G] life, one [Am] life, and I'm gonna live it [F] right.
[C] [G]
Oh, [Am] I got this [G] one life, only [F] one [C]
life.
[G] Hey.
[Am] And I'm an old [F] man, [C] hope I'm a-rockin' in [G] my chair, smiling to myself, [Am] I tell my baby [F] girl,
[C] you only get one [G] life, so make sure you live it right.
[C]
