If you tell me I'll regret it Just let it be what it is
G
Coz it's so easy to say
 C         F              Am

        F            Em
You say the more you think
    Dm              C
You know what's right
   F         Em
The less you do
         Dm         C
What you feel inside
     F     Em             Dm       C
So I won't pretend that I always know
       F         Em     Dm          C
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
      F        Em      Dm      C
And I may not always get it right
                  Dm
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this...

     F        C         G
One life, one life, one life
 Am
I've got this one life
  C            F          Am
If I knew yesterday what I know today
  G
Where would I be tomorrow
  C                 F
I won't let my soul slide away
       Am
I'd do whatever it takes
                        G
Coz this time's only borrowed
      F             C         G
I got one life, one life, one life
  Am
And I'm gonna live it
      F             C         G
I got one life, one life, one life
      Am
And I'm gonna live it right
         Am       F
When I'm an old man
             C
Hope I'll be rocking in my chair
 G
Smiling to myself
            Am        F
I'll tell my baby girl
        C
You only got one life
G                               C
So make sure you live it right
