[Verse]
A Asus2 D
I was a little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands
A Asus2 D
Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man
Bm A D
He'd always say I'm sorry every time he had to leave
Bm A D
And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me
[Chorus]
E D A
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
E D A
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
E D
Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye
A Bm A Cadd9 A Asus2 D
Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die

[Verse]
A Asus2 D
I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine
A Asus2 D
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
Bm A D
I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me
Bm A D
Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory
[Chorus]
E D A
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
E D A
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
E D A
She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye
Bm A Cadd9
And just before she kissed me she said
A Asus2 D
You're gonna live before we die
A Asus2 D
Live before you die

I've made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but I've got no regrets
A Asus2 D
Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget

There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
