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
