[Verse]
C Csus2 F
I was a little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands
C Csus2 F
Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man
Dm C F
He'd always say I'm sorry every time he had to leave
Dm C F
And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me
[Chorus]
G F C
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
G F C
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
G F
Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye
C Dm C Cadd9 C Csus2 F
Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C Csus2 F
I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine
C Csus2 F
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
Dm C F
I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me
Dm C F
Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory
[Chorus]
G F C
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine
G F C
There'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye
G F C
She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye
Dm C Cadd9
And just before she kissed me she said
C Csus2 F
You're gonna live before we die
C Csus2 F
Live before you die

I've made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but I've got no regrets
C Csus2 F
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
