If I Can't Love Her

And in my twisted face

(Am)there's not the slightest trace

(C)of anything that even (F)hints of (Fmaj7)(G)kindness.

(Eb)And from my tortured shape,

(Cb)no comfort, no escape.

(Cm)I see, but deep within is (Fm)utter (Gsus)(G7)blindness.

(Em)(Bb)Hopeless, (C)as my (F)dream dies.

(C)As the (F6/9)time flies,

(C)love a (Dm)lost (Em)(F)(G)illusion.

(Em)(Bb)Helpless, (C)(F)unforgiven.

(C)Cold and (F6/9)driven

(C)to this (Dm)sad (Em)(F)(G)conclusion.

(Dm7)No beauty could (C)move (Fmaj7)me, (F)no goodness (G)improve (C)me.

(Am)No (Dm7)power on (F)Earth, if I can't (Fmaj7)love (G)(G7)her.

(Dm7)No passion could (C)reach (Fmaj7)me, (F)no lesson could (G)teach (C)me (Dm7)how I could have (F)loved her and make her (Am)love (Em)me (Bb)too.

If I (F)can't have (Fm)her, (G7)then (Am)who?

Long ago, (Dm)I (G)should (Em)have (Am)seen

all the things (Dm)I (G)could (Em)have (Am)been.

(Bb)(F)Careless (Bb)and (C)(Gm7)unthinking I moved (Asus)onward!

(Dm7)No pain could be (C)(Fmaj7)deeper.

(F)No life could be (G)(C)cheaper.

(Dm7)No point (F)anymore, her if I can't (Fmaj7)love (G)her.

(Dm7)No spirrit could (C)win (Fmaj7)me.

(F)No hope left (G)within (C)me, (Dm7)hope I could have (F)loved her and that she'd (Fmaj7)love (G)her.

(Am)set (Em)me (Bb)free.

But it's (F)not to (Fm6)be.

If I (C)can't love (G7sus)(G7)her,

(Dm)let (Em)the (F)world (Em)be (F)done with (C)me.
