C                                 Am
I don't want to one day look back on my life
           F           G                 C
Sayin' why didn't I do all I coulda have done
       C
'Cause life's too short and death's too long
        Am
And be- fore you know it the time is gone
    F                   G                      C
And there just ain't no way I ever get it back

         Am                G                  F                    G
Oh, I'll trade my fear and all my pride for a life with no regrets
    Am              G                         F                   G
And every tear that ain't been cried for what hasn't happened yet
    Am           G                  F                     Em
For if I try but fail, I know I can be at peace with that
    Dm                Em         F                    Em
So, while I live, I'm gonna live without holdin' back
       F             G
'Cause I don't wanna wish I had

   C                                     Am
So let me tell you something that's been on my mind
       G      F               G                      C
All my dreams come alive each time that I'm with you
    C                     Bm  Am                            G
And every word I meant to say up to now has been locked the way
    F               G                 C
And down the conse- quences here I go

         Am                G                  F                    G
Oh, I'll trade my fear and all my pride for a life with no regrets
    Am              G                         F                   G
And every tear that ain't been cried for what hasn't happened yet
    Am           G                  F                     Em
For if I try but fail, I know I can be at peace with that
    Dm                Em         F                    Em
So, while I love, I'm gonna love without holdin' back
       F               G
'Cause I don't want to wish I had 

         Am                G                  F                    G
So, I'll trade my fear and all my pride for a life with no regrets
    Am              G                         F                   G
And every tear that ain't been cried for what hasn't happened yet
    Am           G                  F                     Em
And if I try but fail, I know I can be at peace with that
    Dm               Em         F
So, when I love, I'm gonna love without holdin' back
                     G          Am G
'Cause I don't wanna wish I had
 
    F             G
No, I don't wanna wish I had
