SONG: If I Can't Love Her
ARTIST: Alan Menken & Tim Rice
From the musical Beauty And The Beast
Intro:
- -- --
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
- --
Of anything that even hints of kindness
And from my tortured shape
No comfort, no escape
- --
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless
/
As my dream dies
As the time flies
- -
Love a lost illusion
Helpless
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
Dm/F-Em/G-F/A-G/A -
To this sad conclusion
[slow]
C- Dm7(add4) - C/E- Fmaj7 -- F6 --
No beauty could move me
- - -- --
No goodness improve me
- - - - -
No power on earth, if I can't love
- -- --
her
C- Dm7(add4) - C/E-Fmaj6--F6 --
No passion could reach me
- - -- --
No lesson could teach me
- - - -
How I could have loved her and make her love me too
If I can't love her, then who?
-
Long ago I should have seen
-
All the things I could have been
/
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward
- -
- - - -
- -- --
No pain could be deeper
- -- --
No life could be cheaper
- / - - -
No point anymore, if I can't love
- -- --
her
- -
No spirit could win me
- -- --
No hope left within me
- - - -
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
-
But it's not to be
- - - -
If I can't love her
Gm/C--Am/C--A#/C--Am/C--A#/C
Let the world be done
with
me.
