I'd Rather Be Sorry
by Ray Price [3/4 time]
G G7 C
If you hurt me you won't be the first or the last
D7 G D7
In a lifetime of many mistakes
G G7 C
But I won't spend tomorrow regretting the past
D7 G G7
Or the chances that I didn't take
C D7 G G7
For I'll never know til it's over
C D7 G G7
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
C D7 G C
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
G D7 G D7
Than for something that I didn't do
G G7 C
When you touch me it's easy to make me believe
D7 G D7
Tomorrow won't take you away
G G7 C
But I'll gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
D7 G G7
On the love that I'm living today
C D7 G G7
For I'll never know til it's over
C D7 G G7
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
C D7 G C
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
G D7 G D7
Than for something that I didn't do
G G7 C
I know someday that I may wake up all alone
D7 G D7
When the love I believed in has died
G G7 C
But at least I won't wonder what I might have won
D7 G G7
From the lifetime that I watched go by
C D7 G G7
For I'll never know til it's over
C D7 G G7
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
C D7 G C
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
G D7 G
Than for something that I didn't do
