Not Every Man Lives 

½ Step Down 



D
Have you ever skipped a stone across the water?
                     C
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train?
                    G
Have you ever climbed up on a water tower,
                         D
To write a name?

                   C
The truth is every man dies,
G                              D
Not every man lives.

D
Have you ever loved someone that you would die for?
                    C
Have you ever walked too far out on a limb?
                    G
Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for,
                         D
And pulled it in?
                        C
The truth is every man dies,
G                                  D
But not every man lives.

D
I wanna paint outside the lines,
G
Run the red lights in my mind,
Bm                                                        A           
Take everything one lifetime has to give.
D
I wanna stand inside the fire,
C
Walk blind-folded on a wire.
Bm                  A#
Every man dies,
C                                D
But not every man lives.

D
Have you ever thought about how fast time passes?
C
Ever thought about what you would leave behind?
G
Ever stood up for something you believed in,
                           D
And drawn a line?

C
The truth is every man dies,
G                                D
But not every man lives.
