Life's Too Short

Here today and gone tomorrow life’s too short to borrow sorrow

Life’s too short for me to worry over you

You are gone you are missin’ other lips you are kissing

5 1

Life’s too short for me to worry over you

4 1

And I’m leavin’ (and I’m leavin’) and I’m grievin’ (and I’m grievin’)

4 5

And I’m grievin’ (and I’m grievin’) ’cause I’m blue

Here today and gone tomorrow life’s too short to borrow sorrow

Life’s too short for me to worry over you.

Sometimes I think I’m crazy with these blue days so hazy

Can’t realize that you are so untrue

Now I know that you don’t love me and by all the flowers above me

Life’s too short for me to worry over you

Well I’m through with you forever for this tie we must sever

I don’t have another heart so good and true

It was made for usin’ not for all this abusin’

Life’s too short for me to worry over you
