If you hurt me you won't be the first or the last

-6-6   6  -7  -8 9 8   -8  6
In a lifetime of many mistakes.

5  -5  6      7    -8 8 -9  9 -9  -9   7  -6
But I won't spend tomorrow regretting the past

-6  -6   6 -7    -8  -9 8 -8    7
For the chances that I didn't take.

Chorus
  7    -9   9 -10   9  -8   8  -9 8
'Cause I'll never know til it's over

-8  8   -9   9 -10   9     9-9    8
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you.

-8   8  -9 -9  9  -10 9  -9   8   7    9   -9
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done

7    -8   8   7     8  -9  9 -8   7
Than for something that I didn't do

When you touch me it's easy to make me beleive
Tomorrow won't take you away.
But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
In the love that I'm living today
