If Tomorrow never Comes

If Tomorrow Never Comes was written by Garth Brooks and Kent Blazy, marking the first hit song written by Brooks. The song addresses the introspective theme of expressing love and appreciation to ones loved ones, drawing inspiration from the personal experiences of the composers, especially Blazys loss of his father, which left him without the chance to say goodbye.

 G                  Am7 
Sometimes late at night
 D                          C   G     Am   G 
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
       D                 Am7 
She' s lost in peaceful dreams
           D                   C                 G      C   G 
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
 G                           Am7 
And the thought crosses my mind
 D                          C   G    Am   G 
If I never wake up in the morning
 D               Am7        D 
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
 C                G      C   G 
About her in my heart

 G                  C 
If tomorrow never comes
                          G 
Will she know how much I loved her
                    D       Am7             D 
Did I try in every way to show her every day
      C              G 
That she' s my only one
           Am7      G         C 
And if my time on earth were through
                        D          Em7      Bm7 
And she must face this world without me
 Em                             Am7 
Is the love I gave her in the past
                    D 
Gonna be enough to last
                   G         D   C 
If tomorrow never comes

 G                  Am7 
' Cause I' ve lost love ones in my life
 D                          C    G     Am   G 
Who never knew how much I loved them
       D                 Am7 
Now I live with the regret
              D                  C             G      C   G 
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
 G                         Am7 
So I made a promise to myself
 D                               C     G    Am   G 
To say each day how much she means to me
     D                 Am7 
And avoid that circumstance
                  D                 C               G    C   G 
Where there' s no second chance to tell her how I feel

 G                  C 
If tomorrow never comes
                          G 
Will she know how much I loved her
                    D       Am7             D 
Did I try in every way to show her every day
      C              G 
That she' s my only one
           Am7      G         C 
And if my time on earth were through
                        D          Em7      Bm7 
And she must face this world without me
 Em                             Am7 
Is the love I gave her in the past
                    D 
Gonna be enough to last
                   G         D   C 
If tomorrow never comes

 G                              Am7 
So tell that someone that you love
                           D 
Just what you`re thinking of
                   C       G   Am7   G 
If tomorrow never comes
