Chords for Todd Snider - If Tomorrow Never Comes

I was gonna tell you this because I said I would and I was thinking
_ _ This song I want to try to play for you if I can remember it's got a lot of words in it
_ _ It's kind of a new song, but it was semi inspired by the song I just played but it was more
Have you ever heard a song?
called if tomorrow never come _ _
By Garth Brooks saying will she know how much I love her
_ sensitive piece, right
_ _ Okay, so this song I'm gonna try [E] to play for you is
_ Inspired by the opportunity that I had to meet the guy [C#] that came up with that song if tomorrow never comes
Well one of the five or six guys, but one of the guys that came up with this song
I had a chance to meet him and it inspired the song
I'm gonna play for you now, but before I can make that make sense.
I gotta back up to the song
I just played B double-e double-r you and Bera and I admit that it's not say as sensitive of a piece _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But it has a spirit of its own
_ _ Now I'm sitting watching the Mets play the Giants in the middle of the afternoon
Got [D] that baseball package and my manager calls me up and he says hey, you know that song of yours beer run
Yeah, and he said well there's another song almost exactly like it on the radio and [N] it's a George Jones and Garth Brooks
And it's not your version though.
It's like these six other guys.
I said, oh
Man, you know and he said well, what do you want me to do and swear to you as God is my witness
You know, my thought was I don't have to come in town for this.
Do I man? _ _ _ _
_ Cuz I don't give a shit I I _
_ _ Got that baseball package.
What do I want after that?
_ _ so
My manager says oh you're easy to work with and I go back to my game and everything goes on as a plant
Then he calls me back like a month later
It's still summer and he says bad news now the guys that came up with beer run or calling us and saying you took it
From them and I still just I didn't I was like good.
I got 11 other songs on the record
I don't give [G] a shit.
_ _ I
Just don't want to have to go to music row or argue with [E] people or get to this point where?
Making up songs become something that you do _
in town and so
[N] _ _ Just wanted that out of my life so what's what happened now my manager calls me and he says I went into town
I went in there talk.
We all met turns out nobody took nothing from nobody
That's what I was hoping happened.
We could all go on with our lives then I'm at home and living in Nashville
They're gonna induct Tom T.
We have in that's what we induct somebody into something like twice a week _ _ _ _ _
There's something not in they're gonna bring them in they called me honor to be called
I got to sing one of his songs.
It was exciting actually to do it the Opry or something and _ _
I'm serious _ _ _ _
One of them things it's [D#] supposed to be a big deal then _ _
Afterwards I'm in the dressing room this really happened afterwards.
I'm with the free.
There's free carrots and celery and drinks _
_ _ _ Almost always right so I'm standing back there with this stuff and
And we spent there's a guy across the room and my buddy says you see that guy I said yeah
He says you know that song if tomorrow
I said yeah, I love that song.
He said that guy wrote it.
You know I said oh god.
That's cool
I love this let's go out.
Let's go hustle him so
_ _ _ Have our free drink and I remember I held my drink out nice saying and I say if tomorrow never comes
And he smiled and I said I love that song and he said oh, thanks, and I said I'm Todd Snyder and you went oh
I know who you are and I said what do you mean?
He said I had a lot of trouble with you last summer, and I said what do you mean?
He goes you know that beer run.

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [B] _ _
I [F] told you how to tie this [C] shit together _
_ [N] _ _ _ And I'm thinking my god, you know I thought man you took it from me
So I said to this guy man.
You took it from me
_ _ And he said not technically
_ _ [B] _ _ _ I didn't see that coming
What do you mean and he went on to explain?
There's a certain amount of notes you can take there's a certain amount of lyrics you could take in a row without taking too many
in a [N] row _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is who should be managing me _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ But the [C#] good the good [C] news was as he was [E] walking away from me
I got this idea for a song that I made up by myself _ _ _ _ _
It's called if tomorrow never [Em] come _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ If tomorrow never comes
_ I won't give a damn _
If [Am] tomorrow never comes.
I don't wanna be afraid of me [E] making just the way I am
[Bm] You can't prove [A] anything, but one thing is true if you can steal [F#] from me.
I [G] can steal from you
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Any kind of heaven everybody doesn't get in won't seem like a heaven to me
[B] Really tell you that the Garden of Eden was perfect
But you [E] couldn't even eat off the apple [B] tree and for [A] heaven's sakes you had to watch that snake [E] lying to you woman _
[A] Constantly Adam must have [B] scratched his head looked up and said Lord
_ This isn't doing it for me tomorrow
[E] _ _ _ _ _ I'll give it down
_ If [A] tomorrow never comes I don't wanna be afraid [E] to me make it just the way I am
I can't do anything I'm dying to if [C] tomorrow never comes [F#] tonight
We'll have to do I said [E] I'll never claim to know what's going on around here.
I don't even know where I'm from
_ [Am] I don't know where I'm going [A] when I get to where I'm going [E] what I'm doing when I get done _
[A] They tell me I'm forgiven if I asked to be I [E] say permission not to come that easily
[B] I'm piling cores up underneath this apple tree.
I'm singing.
[E] Oh Lord have mercy on me
If tomorrow never come
_ And tonight is all I got
_ Hey, [A] if tomorrow never comes, I don't wanna be [E] afraid to come and meet you just the way that I'm not
_ [Em] You can't do anything [A] and then you die [E] judge the judgmental and what am I?
Judge the judgmental and what am I?
Either [A] way, I'm every guy I have ever tried not to be
[E] I want everything as good as it gets
I've [A] learned nothing, but that there's another [A] sunrise coming all but [Bm] one of the times it sets [E] and if tomorrow never comes
_ Tomorrow never comes
_ Hey [A] tomorrow never comes
_ _ [E] Tomorrow never come _ _
[B] If we were all good [E] people we could work in perfect rhythm [N] if worms had daggers birds wouldn't fuck with them _
