While I Can Chords by Matthew West

[Verse]

    C
If today was my last day
             C              Am7
I'd call my mom out of the blue
                              Am 
Take the time the words the words 
          G
I seldom do
               C
I'd leave my suitcase in the closet
               C                   Am7
And tell the world it'll have to wait
                         Am
Then I'd take my little girl
                 G
On an ice cream date
 
 
 
[Chorus]

           C
What am I waiting for?
           C
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
          Am7           Am
I don't wanna miss it anymore
            G
So from now on it's 

now or never
      C                     Am7
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
             Am         G          C
And let the rest slip through my hands
         C
What I would do
           Am7
Is what I will do
 
While I can
 
 
C Am7 Am  
C Am7 Am 
 
 
 
[Verse]

                 C
I'd bring home baby's favorite flowers
           C               Am7
Leave my work outside the door
                    
And we'd laugh about 
       Am
how we both forgot
              G
What we were mad at each other for
         C
I'd let go of all my grudges
           C                Am7
Make the choice to just forgive
                               Am
And spend the rest of my time free
                G
From all this hate and bitterness
 
 
 
[Chorus]

           C
What am I waiting for?
           C
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
          Am7           Am
I don't wanna miss it anymore
            G
So from now on it's now or never
      C                     Am7
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
             Am         G          C
And let the rest slip through my hands
         C
What I would do
           Am7
Is what I will do
 
While I can
 
 
C Am7 Am  
C Am7 Am 
 
Am Am7 C G
 
 
 
[Verse]

      C
If today was my last day
             C            Am7
And it was almost time to go
                  Am
I'd pick up that old bible
     G
And I'd put down my phone
                C
I'd watch the steam rise 

from my coffee
             C           Am7
And the sun rise in the sky
                           
And I'd thank the Lord for 
 Am
one more chance
    G
To try and get it right
 
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
What am I waiting for?
           C
It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
          Am7           Am
I don't wanna miss it anymore
            G
So from now on it's now or never
      C                    Am7
I'm gonna hold on to what matters
             Am         G          C
And let the rest slip through my hands
         C
What I would do
           Am7
Is what I will do
         Am
While I can
 
         C
What I would do
           Am7
Is what I will do
         C
While I can
