(capo 1st fret) 
 
 
Intro - C - F - G 
 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
C           F         G 
I left for work in a hurry, 
C               F            G 
Rushed out the door without sayin goodbye, 
         C           F               G 
I didn't tell her I loved her this morning, 
                     Dm7 
but I'll tell her tonight, 
    F           G 
I thought to myself, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
       C          F               G 
And as I hurried off toward the highway, 
      C            F             G 
This truck out of nowhere caught me by surprise, 
    C            F             G 
He missed me by inches and my life, 
                       Dm7 
Passed in front of my eyes, 
   F                 G 
I guess that's the reason that, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
F                                      C 
They say, dance every dance and live, each day, 
                                   Dm7 
as though it's your last and tell those who you love, 
         F                     G 
how you feel, before it's too late, 
 F        
Life is right here and now, 
C                   Am7  G    F 
We only go around, just, one, time, 
     F     
So embrace and don't waste em, 
     G                         C 
For these are the days of our lives, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
AS soon as my legs stopped a shaken, 
I took a deep breath and turned my car around, 
Oh I'm gonna take that vacation, that we talked about, 
startin right now, 
 
 
(verse 3) 
Although I know tomorrow will be here, 
Tomorrow may not always be here for me, 
Cause nothin in life is for certain, 
But death's gauranteed, 
And that's the reason that, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
F                                   C 
I say, dance every dance and live, each day 
                                   Dm7 
as though it's your last and tell those who you love, 
         F                     G 
how you feel, before it's too late, 
 F        
Life is right here and now, 
C                   Am7  G    F 
We only go around, just, one, time, 
     F     
So embrace and don't waste em, 
     G                         C 
For these are the days of our lives,
