I'd rather be sorry
1. If you hurt me, you
won't be the first or the last,
A A7 D
- A
in a lifetime of
many mistakes.
D D7 G
But I won't spend tomorrow regretting the
past,
A A7 D
- D7
for the chances
that I didn't take.
'Cause I'll never know
'til it's over,
G A D - D7
if I'm right or I'm wrong loving you.
G A D G
But I'd rather be
sorry for something I've done,
D A D
- A
than for something that I didn't do.
2. When you touch me
it's easy to make me believe
A A7 D - A
tomorrow won't
take you away.
D D7 G
But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might
bring,
A A7 D - D7
for the love that
I'm living today. + CHORUS
3. I know someday that
I may wake up all alone,
A A7 D - A
when the love I
believed in has died.
D D7 G
But at least I won't wonder what I might
have won,
A A7 D - D7
from the lifetime
that I watched going by. + CHORUS
+ Yes, I'd rather be sorry for something I've
done,
D A G - D
than for something
that I didn't do.
