#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 for
A A7 D D7
the chances that I didn't take.
CHORUS:
G A D D7 G
Cause I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
A D
or I'm wrong loving you.
G A D G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
D A D A
for something that I didn't do.
#2.
D D7 G A
When you touch me it's easy to make me believe tomorrow
A7 D A
won't take you away.
D D7 G A
But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring for the love
A7 D D7
that I'm living today.
CHORUS:
G A D D7 G
And I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
A D
or I'm wrong loving you.
G A D G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
D A D A
for something that I didn't do.
#3.
D D7 G A
I know someday that I may wake up all alone, when the love
A7 D A
I believed in has died.
D D7 G
But at least I won't wonder what I might have won, from the
A A7 D D7
lifetime that I watched going by.
CHORUS:
G A D D7 G
Cause I'll never know til it's over....if I'm right
A D
or I'm wrong loving you.
G A D G
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than
D A D
for something that I didn't do.
OUTRO:
G A D G
Yes, I'd rather be sorry for something I've done than for
D A G D
something that I didn't do.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
