Intro: Em Bm Am Bm 
 
Verse 1: 
 Em                      
There's a cross on the side of the road 
Bm 
Where a mother lost a son 
                   Am 
How could she know that the morning he left 
                         Bm 
Would be their last time she'd trade with him for a little more time 
Am 
So she could say she loved him one last time 
Bm 
And hold him tight 
Em 
But with life we never know 
 
Pre-Chourus: 
Bm 
When we're coming up to the end of the road 
Am 
So what do we do then 
B 
With tragedy around the bend? 
 
Chorus: 
G       D 
We live we love 
   C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
C 
Today we remember to live and to love 
G       D 
We live we love 
    C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
C 
Today we remember to live and to love 
 
Interlude: G D Am 
 
Verse 2: 
Em            
There is a man who waits for the tests 
   Bm 
To see if the cancer has spread yet 
Am                             Bm 
And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?" 
Em                                 
If I could have the time back how I'd live 
Bm 
Life is such a gift 
Am 
So how does the story end? 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
Bm 
Well this is your story and it all depends 
Am 
So don't let it become true 
B 
Get out and do what we are meant to do 
 
Chorus: 
G       D 
We live we love 
   C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
C 
Today we remember to live and to love 
G       D 
We live we love 
   C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
C 
Today we remember to live and to love 
 
Interlude: G D Am 
 
Bridge: 
Em 
Waking up to another dark morning 
Bm 
People are mourning 
Am 
The weather in life outside is storming 
Em 
But what would it take for the clouds to break 
Bm 
For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway 
Am 
So get our heads up out of the darkness 
Em 
And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet 
Bm 
And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders 
Am 
And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up 
Em 
Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living 
 
Chorus (to fade): 
G       D 
We live we love 
C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
      C 
Today we remember to live and to love 
G       D 
We live we love 
   C 
We forgive and never give up 
G                         D 
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above 
      C 
Today we remember to live and to love
