[Verse]
D Dsus2 G
I was a little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands
D Dsus2 G
Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man
Em D G
He'd always say I'm sorry every time he had to leave
Em D G
And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me
[Chorus]
A G D
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
A G D
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
A G
Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye
D Em D Cadd9 D Dsus2 G
Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D Dsus2 G
I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine
D Dsus2 G
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
Em D G
I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me
Em D G
Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory
[Chorus]
A G D
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
A G D
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
A G D
She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye
Em D Cadd9
And just before she kissed me she said
D Dsus2 G
You're gonna live before we die
D Dsus2 G
Live before you die

I've made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but I've got no regrets
D Dsus2 G
Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget

When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
A G D
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
