Id Rather Tab

by Luther Vandross


"I'd Rather" of Luthervandross THE Paolo Martinez Version
(V1.)                                   
I thought sometime alone
                                   
was what we really needed
                                                                 
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
                               
but I couldn't see that
                            
I thought it was the end
                        
of a beautiful story
                                                                  -
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)

and I tried to find  
                                 
out if this one thing is true
                                    
that I'm nothing without you

I know better now
                                 
and I've had a change of heart
(CHORUS):                                                                          
I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
                             -                                                
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
                                                          
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
(Verse 1 Chords)
                              
And then I met someone
                                    
and thought she could replace you
                      
we got a long just fine
                                                             
we wasted time because she was not you
                      
we had a lot of fun 
                                           
though we knew we were faking
                                                                                              - 
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
                                                              
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
                                   
that I'm nothing without you


I know better now 
                           
and I've had a change of heart
(Chorus)

                                                                                           
I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you, 
                                                                 
I can only prove the things I say with time,

please be mine,
(chorus chords)half step higher.
I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo.....who holds my heart

I hope to give a Plucking or arpeggio version next time
