Before I Die

By Jim Reeves

G          D7         G                     C

No need to say you're sorry no need to feel ashamed

               G            A7                   D7

If I'm not the one you love don't feel you're to blame

G       D7      G                                 C

I don't deny it hurts me and this pain is hard to hide

                        G           D7       G

But at least I lived a little while before I died

C                                     G

I lived long enough to know the sweet thrill of your lips

A7                     D7

I knew happiness right down to my fingertips

G                             G7                  C

You'll always be a part of me though you can't be mine

                   G            D7       G

At least I lived a little while before I died

                D7     G                              C

Don't ask me to forget you cause you mean too much to me

                   G       A7           D7

I couldn't even if I tried too many memories

G        D7        G                                   C

My yesterdays were happy days and each memory's locked inside

                   G            D7       G

At least I lived a little while before I died
