IT'S BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST

Music by Singing Sam
Words by Singing Sam and Apollos


Intro:
(Cm)I was (G/B)so deeply in love,
A (Cm7/Bb)love that was so strong.
I felt (Cm/A)nothing could go wrong,
But (Ab)now he's gone away.
I (Eb/G)wipe the tears from my eyes
And (Fm)in my heart I'm thankful,
Because (G)now I (Fm)rea(G)lize:

Chorus:
It's (C)better to have (Dm)loved (Em)and (Dm)lost
(A7)-(Dm7)Than (G)never to have loved at (C)all.
(Em/B)When (Am)memories are (Am7/G)sweet
But (D7/F#)dreams have not come true,
Just having (G)loved makes it worth it (Am)all.
(D7/F#)Just having (G)loved makes it worth it (C)all.

And the (F)tears you (G)cry,
You'll (C)find they help you (F)see,
And a (Dm)broken (G)heart
Can (C)teach you many (C7)things.
Like the (F)morning (G)sun,
(C)After the darkest (Am)night,
Love will (Dm)rise again
(G)And warm you with its (F)li(Fm)-(C)ght!

[Repeat chorus]

Each moment (F)sharing (G)love
Is (C)worth a thousand (F)tears.
Don't be a(Dm)fraid to (G)lose,
Don't hold (C)back your heart in (C7)fear.
Just open (F)up your (G)life,
Freely (C)give and you'll re(Am)ceive,
And you can (Dm)start again
(G)If in love you will be(F)lie(Fm)-(C)ve.

Chorus:
It's (C)better to have (Dm)loved (Em)and (Dm)lost
(A7)-(Dm7)Than (G)never to have loved at (C)all.
(Em/B)When (Am)memories are (Am7/G)sweet
But (D7/F#)dreams have not come true,
Just having (G)loved makes it worth it (C)all.

Chorus:
It's (C)better to have (Dm)loved (Em)and (Dm)lost
(A7)-(Dm7)Than (G)never to have loved at (C)all.
(Em/B)When (Am)memories are (Am7/G)sweet
But (D7/F#)dreams have not come true,
Just having (G)loved makes it worth it (Am)all.
(D7/F#)Just having (G)loved makes it worth it (C)all.(G)-(C)
