If Tomorrow Never Comes (Live)

[Chorus 1]

If tomorrow never comes

I won't give a damn

If tomorrow never comes

I ain't gonna be afraid to meet my maker just the way that I am

You can't prove anything but one thing is true

If you can steal from me, I can steal from you

[Verse 1]

I said, any kind of heaven everybody doesn't get in

Won't seem like heaven to me

They tell you that the Garden of Eden was perfect

But you couldn't even eat off the Apple Tree

And for heaven's sake, you had to watch out for that snake

Who was lying to your woman constantly

Adam must have scratched his head

Looked up to heaven and said

"Eh, this isn't doing it for me"

[Chorus 2]

If tomorrow never comes

I won't give a damn

If tomorrow never comes

I ain't gon' be afraid to come and meet you just the way that I am

Can't do anything

And then you die

Judge the judgemental? Man, what am I?

[Post-Chorus]

Either way I'm every guy I've ever tried not to be

I want everything as good as it gets

I've learned nothing but that there's another sunrise coming

All but one of the times it sets

[Verse 2]

I don't ever claim to know what's goin' on around here

I don't even know where I'm from

I know where I'm going when I get where I'm going

What I'm doing when I get done

You tell me I'm forgiven if I ask to be

I say permission ought to come that easily

I'm piling cores up underneath this apple tree

I'm singing "Oh lord, have mercy on me"

[Chorus 3]

If tomorrow never comes

And tonight is all I got

If tomorrow never comes I don't want to be afraid

To have to meet you just the way that I'm not

Can't do anything

And then you die

If I judge the judgemental, man, what am I?

[Post-Chorus]

Either way I'm every guy I've ever tried not to be

I want everything as good as it gets

I've learned nothing but that there's another sunrise coming

All but one of the times it sets

[Outro]

And if tomorrow never comes

Tomorrow never comes

If tomorrow never comes

I guess tomorrow never comes

If we were all good people

We could work in perfect rhythm

If worms had daggers

Birds wouldn't fuck with 'em
