INTRO: D MajorD A augmentedA

#1.
    D MajorD      D7D7      G+G
If you hurt me, you won't be the first or the last
     A augmentedA    A7A7   D MajorD  A augmentedA
in a lifetime of many mistakes.
   D MajorD       D7D7    G+G
But I won't spend tomorrow regretting the past for
  A augmentedA      A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
the chances that I didn't take.

CHORUS:
   G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  D7D7    G+G
Cause I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
    A augmentedA      D MajorD
or I'm wrong loving you.
    G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD       G+G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
  D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD  A augmentedA
for something that I didn't do.

#2.
     D MajorD       D7D7   G+G         A augmentedA
When you touch me it's easy to make me believe tomorrow
   A7A7    D MajorD  A augmentedA
won't take you away.
    D MajorD     D7D7   G+G             A augmentedA
But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring for the love
     A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
that I'm living today.

CHORUS:
  G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  D7D7    G+G
And I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
    A augmentedA      D MajorD
or I'm wrong loving you.
    G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD       G+G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
  D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD  A augmentedA
for something that I didn't do.

#3.
    D MajorD      D7D7     G+G           A augmentedA
I know someday that I may wake up all alone, when the love
  A7A7      D MajorD  A augmentedA
I believed in has died.
    D MajorD       D7D7     G+G
But at least I won't wonder what I might have won, from the
A augmentedA        A7A7      D MajorD D7D7
lifetime that I watched going by.

CHORUS:
   G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  D7D7    G+G
Cause I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
    A augmentedA      D MajorD
or I'm wrong loving you.
    G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD       G+G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
  D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
for something that I didn't do.

OUTRO:
     G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD       G+G
Yes, I'd rather be sorry for something I've done than for
D MajorD       A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
something that I didn't do.
