Intro strummed in C
she was gCone again
and i'm Bbnot sure what I kFnew

Intro strummed in C

she was gone again

Bb F

and i'm not sure what I knew

but I looked again

Bb F

and the truth gave me a clue

said my love

Bb F

why was it not enough to keep

and it's tough

Bb F

and I can't accept defeat

Gm Bb

and i know my mind, i know i should be grateful

Gm Bb

but it's hard for me i'm done so easily

Chorus:

can we be loved, can we be free

Bb F

can we be all these things you said to me

can we be loved, can we explain

Bb F

can we be all these things and hold our pain

can we be loved,

Bb F

can we be free

can we go on,

Bb F

can we not see

Gm Bb

cause i know myself and i can't take it easy

Gm Bb

and it can't be good if i'm the one who's me

and we were off again

Bb F

and i just could not believe

it took so long again

Bb F

should've known, should've seen

said my love

Bb F

that was the only way to be

not enough

Bb F

then the future came to me

Gm Bb

and i know my mind, i'm out of time it's over

Gm Bb

and i'll leave it here, is there no way to show her

REPEAT CHORUS

said my love,

Bb F

that was the only way to be

not enough

Bb F

and i can't believe it's me

Gm Bb

and i know my love, i know my love is over

Gm Bb

and i wish i did, I wish i didn't know

Happy strumming!
