I'd Rather Tab par Luther Vandross

[Verse]
                        F
I thought some time alone
                        C
Was what we really needed
                         F
You said this time would hurt more than it helps
    G           Am
But I couldn't see that
                        F
I thought it was the end
                    Em  Am
Of a beautiful story
                   Dm                         E
And so I left the one I loved at home to be alone  
         Am
And I tried and found
     Dm7                 G
Out this one thing is true
           C               Dm7
That I'm nothing without you
 
I know better now
          Gm7                C
And I've had a change of heart
 
[Chorus]
                F                  G              Em                 Am  G
I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
                F                  G                  Em           Gm7 C
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
                F            B7b5     E7      Am      G     D
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
    Dm     Em         F      G             C
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
        Dm  Em  F
Whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
 
[Verse]
    G               F
And then I met someone
                        C
And thought she could replace you
                     F
We got a long just fine
                   G            Am
But wasted time because she was not you
                  F
We had a lot of fun
                        Em    Am
Though we knew we were faking
                 Dm                                   E
Love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, on lies
        Am                 Dm7                    G
So I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
           C               Dm7
That I'm nothing without you
 
I know better now
          Gm7                C
And I've had a change of heart
 
 
[Chorus]
                F                  G              Em                 Am  G
I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
                F                  G                  Em           Gm7 C
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
                F            B7b5     E7      Am      G     D
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
    Dm     Em         F      G             C
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
        Dm  Em  F
Whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
