The way Brantley plays the intro is slide an Asus2 into a Bm, then slide Bm to the D bar chord. Then you can play the A and
G in either the bar chords or standard chords but play with it and you'll figure it out
Intro: Bm, D, A, G x2
There's a (Bm) live oak tree (D) you can still see (A) off ol 129 (G)
You can (Bm) see the scars its (D) missin bark where it (A) stopped my truck that (G) night
They say I (Bm) took a swing at (D) my best friend for (A) tryin to take my (G) keys
Next thing (Bm) I knew I was (D) upside down thinkin (A) this is it for (G) me
Chorus:
When you (D) see life flash before your eyes
The (A) good, the bad, the wrong, the right
(Bm) Fade into a (A) bright white line
(G) Shinin' down on you
Your (D) hangin on by a thread
(A) Wonderin' which ones your last breath
(Bm) Knowing theres so (A) much you have left to (G) do
You live your (Bm) life a better (A) man
when you've (G) been, halfway to heaven
Intro once
First (Bm) thing I did was (D) hug my mama, (A) hell I even hugged my (G) dad
I (Bm) Told em both how (D) much I love them, never (A) saw daddy cry like (G) that
Started (Bm) hangin' out with (D) my little brother, man I (A) never missed a (G) game
And (Bm) I'm in church every (D) Sunday mornin', and (A) I pray every(G)day
Chorus:
When you (D) see life flash before your eyes
The (A) good, the bad, the wrong, the right
(Bm) Fade into a (A) bright white line
(G) Shinin' down on you
Your (D) hangin on by a thread
(A) Wonderin' which ones your last breath
(Bm) Knowing theres so (A) much you have left to (G) do
You live your (Bm) life a better (A) man
when you've (G) been, (A) halfway to heaven
(Bm) (A) I wont waste, (Bm) (A) one minute
(Bm) (A) Cuz my life's changed
(G) And I'm gonna live (A) it
Like I'm (D) hangin on by a thread
(A) Wonderin' which ones my last breath
(Bm) Knowing theres so (A) much I've left to (G) do
I live my (Bm) life a better (A) man
I'll live my (Bm) life a better (A) man
Cuz I've (G) been, halfway to heaven
Outro:
Play the intro twice and let the last G ring out
