[Verse]
F Fsus2 A#
I was a little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands
F Fsus2 A#
Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man
Gm F A#
He'd always say I'm sorry every time he had to leave
Gm F A#
And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me
[Chorus]
C A# F
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
C A# F
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
C A#
Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye
F Gm F Cadd9 F Fsus2 A#
Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F Fsus2 A#
I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine
F Fsus2 A#
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
Gm F A#
I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me
Gm F A#
Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory
[Chorus]
C A# F
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
C A# F
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
C A# F
She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye
Gm F Cadd9
And just before she kissed me she said
F Fsus2 A#
You're gonna live before we die
F Fsus2 A#
Live before you die

I've made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but I've got no regrets

Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget
