If Tomorrow Never Comes is a song recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. Written by Brooks and Kent Evan Blazy, it was released in August 1989. This was his first number-one single on the US Billboard Country Singles chart. It is also sometimes referred to as his signature song.

[Verse 1]
 
C                 Dm7
Sometimes late at night
G                         F/C  C    Dm/C  C
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
      G                Dm7
She's lost in peaceful dreams
          G                  F                C     F/C  C
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
C                          Dm7
And the thought crosses my mind
G                         F/C  C   Dm/C  C
If I never wake up in the morning
G              Dm7       G
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
F               C     F/C  C
About her in my heart
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
C                 F
If tomorrow never comes
                         C
Will she know how much I loved her
                   G      Dm7            G
Did I try in every way to show her every day
     F             C
That she's my only one
          Dm7     C/E        F
And if my time on earth were through
                       G         Am7     Em7
And she must face this world without me
Am                            Dm7
Is the love I gave her in the past
                   G
Gonna be enough to last
                  C        G/C  F/C
If tomorrow never comes
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                                 Dm7
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
G                         F/C   C    Dm/C  C
Who never knew how much I loved them
      G                Dm7
Now I live with the regret
             G                 F            C     F/C  C
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
C                        Dm7
So I made a promise to myself
G                              F/C    C   Dm/C  C
To say each day how much she means to me
    G                Dm7
And avoid that circumstance
                 G                F              C   F/C  C
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
C                 F
If tomorrow never comes
                         C
Will she know how much I loved her
                   G      Dm7            G
Did I try in every way to show her every day
     F             C
That she's my only one
          Dm7     C/E        F
And if my time on earth were through
                       G         Am7     Em7
And she must face this world without me
Am                            Dm7
Is the love I gave her in the past
                   G
Gonna be enough to last
                  C        G/C  F/C
If tomorrow never comes
 
 
[Outro]
 
C                             Dm7
So tell that someone that you love
                          G
Just what you`re thinking of
                  F      C/E  Dm7  C
If tomorrow never comes
