[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C]
[G][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]When
I was [Am]a young [F]boy
I was [C]living for the moment
[G]The world was wide open
[Am]I had every [F]choice
But with [C]so many choices
I just did[G]n't know what to do now
[Am]All I say is just forget it[F]
If you tell me I'll re[C]gret it
Just let it be what it [G]is
'Cause it's so easy [C]to say

[Verse 2]
If I knew yes[F]terday what I know [Am]today
Where would [G]I be tomorrow
[C]I won't let my soul s[F]lide
away
[Am]I'd do whatever it takes
'Cause this time's only borrowed
I got [F]one life,

[Verse 3]
[C]one life, [G]one life
[Am]And I'm gonna live it
[F]I got one life, [C]one life, [G]one life
And [Am]I'm gonna live it right

[Verse 4]
[Am]My daddy sat [F]me down
He said [C]"Son, it's probably time
to start [G]making some plans"
And I said [Am]"No, not [F]right now"
With [C]so many choices
I just did[G]n't know what to do now
[Am]All I say is just forget it[F]
If you tell me I'll re[C]gret it
Just let it be what it [G]is
'Cause it's so easy [C]to say
If I knew yes[F]terday what I know

[Verse 5]
[Am]today
Where would [G]I be tomorrow
[C]I won't let my soul s[F]lide away
I'd do [Am]whatever it takes
'Cause this time's only borrowed

[Verse 6]
I [F]got one life, [C]one [G]life, one life
And I'm [Am]gonna live it
[F]I got one life, [C]one life, [G]one life
And I'm [Am]gonna live it right
[G]You say the [F]more [Em]you think You

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
know [C]what's right
The [F]less you [C]do
What [Am]you feel [Dm]inside
[C]So I w[F]on't pret[Em]end that I always[D] know[C]
I just follow [F]my [Am]heart wherever it goes
[C]And I may[F] not alw[Em]ays get it [Dm]right
[C]But[Eb] at least I'm living 'cause
[Dm]I've only got this…

[Verse 8]
One life, [F]one [C]life, [G]one life
[Am]I've got this one [F]life[C][G]

[Verse 9]
[C]If I knew yester[F]day
what I know [Am]today
Where would [G]I be tomorrow
[C]I won't let my soul sli[F]de
away
[Am]I'd do whatever it takes
'Cause this time's only bor[G]rowed

[Verse 10]
[F]I got one life, [C]one life, [G]one life
And [Am]I'm gonna live it
[F]I got one life, [C]one [G]life, one life
And [Am]I'm gonna live [F]it[C][G]
[Am]righ[F]t[C]
[G]

[Verse 11]
When I'm an [Am]old [F]man
Hope I'll be [C]rocking in my chair
Smil[G]ing to myself
[Am]I'll tell my baby [F]girl
You [C]only got one life
So make [G]sure you live it right
