- -- --
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
- Gsus-- --
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
To this sad conclusion
C- Dm7(add4) - C/E- Fmaj7 -- F6 --
No beauty could move me
C/G-F/A - G/B - C -- G/B --
No goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love
G/B - F/A -- G7/B --
her
C- Dm7(add4) - C/E-Fmaj6--F6 --
No passion could reach me
C/G-F/A - G/B - C -- G/B --
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?
Am - Dm/A--G--Em-- Am
Long ago I should have seen
Am - Dm/A--G--Em- Am
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward
D- Em7sus4 - D/F-Gmaj7 -- G6 --
No pain could be deeper
D/A-G/B - A/C-D -- A/C# --
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love
A/C- G/B -- A/C# --
her
No spirit could win me
F/C-A/D - C/E-F -- C/E --
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.
