Matthew West - While I Can (Official Music Video) chords
Start Jamming...
[Am] If today was [G] my [C] last day, I'd call my mom out of the [F] blue
Take the time [G] to say [A] the words I [G] seldom do
I'd [A] leave my [Em] suitcase in [C] the closet, tell the world it'll have to [F]
wait
Then I'd take [D] my [G] little [Am] girl on an ice [G] cream date
[F] What am I waiting [C] for?
It ain't like I'm gonna [G] live [A] forever, [Am] I [F] don't wanna miss it [C] anymore
So from [G] now on, [D] it's now or [G] never
I'm gonna [F] hold on [C] to what matters, [G] and let the rest slip [E] through [Am] my hands
[F] What I would do, [G] is what I will do, [A] while I can
[G] [C]
[Em] [F]
[D] I'd bring home [G] baby's [C] favorite flowers, leave my work outside [F] the door
And we'd laugh [G] about [Am] how we both forgot that [G] we were mad at each other for
[A] I'd let [C] go of all my grudges, and make the choice to just [F] forgive
Spend the rest [D] of my [Am] time free from all [G] this hate and bitterness
So what [F] am I waiting [C] for?
It ain't [D] like I'm gonna live [A] forever, I don't [F] wanna miss it [C] anymore
So from [G] now on, [D] it's now or [G] never
I'm gonna [C] hold on to what matters, and [G] let the rest slip [Em] through [Am] my hands
[F] What I would do, [G] is what I will do, [Am] while I can
[C]
[Em] [F]
[G] [Am]
[G]
[E] Yeah, today [C] was my last day, and it was almost time [F] to go
I'd pick [G] up that [Am] old Bible, [G] and I'd put down my phone
[Am] Watch the [G] steam rise from [C] my coffee, the sun rise in the [F] sky
And I'd thank [D] the Lord [Am] for one more chance [G] to try and get it right
[F] What am I waiting [C] for?
It ain't like I'm gonna [G] live [Am] forever, I don't [F] wanna miss [C] it anymore
So from [G] now on, it's now or never
I'm gonna [F] hold on [C] to what matters, and [G] let the rest slip through my [Am]
hands
[F] What I would do, [G] is what I will do, while [Am] I can
