(verse 1) 
        D            D7            G  
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. 


        G          A              D - D7 
'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.  
 
(verse 2) 

When you touch me it's easy to make me believe 

Tomorrow won't take you away 

But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring 

For the love that I'm living today. 

(chorus) 
        G          A              D - D7 
'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. 
 
(verse 3) 

I know someday that I may wake up all alone 

When the love I believed in has died 

But at least I won't wonder what I might have won 

from the lifetime that I watched going by 
 
(chorus) 
        G          A              D - D7 
'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.
