If Tomorrow Never Comes

Tom: G

(intro 4x) C D G Em

 G                 Am    D7
Sometimes late at night
                            G4 G  G4 G
I lie awake and watch him sleeping
      D                 Am
He's lost in peaceful dreams
           D                  C                G
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
                        Am       D7
And the thought crosses my mind
                             G4 G G4 G
If I never wake up in the morning
 D             Am        D
Would he ever doubt the way I feel
  C              G
About him in my heart

                   C
If tomorrow never comes
                         G
Will he know how much I loved him
                    D     Am              D
Did I try in every way to show him every day
      C            G
That he's my only one
                                C
And if my time on earth were through
                       D           Em
And he must face the world without me
                               Am
Is the love I gave him in the past
                    D
Gonna be enough to last
                   G
If tomorrow never comes
                               Am      D7
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
                                  G4 G G4 G
Who never knew how much they mean to me
        D               Am
Now I live with the regret
               D
That my true feelings for them
 C               G
never were revealed
                         Am   D7
So I made a promise to myself
                              G4 G G4 G
To say each day how much he means to me
      D              Am
And avoid the circumstance
                    D                   C
Where there's no second chance to tell him
       G
how I feel
                               Am
So tell that someone that you love
                           D
Just what you're thinking of
                   G
If tomorrow never comes
