Capo: 2

Meat Loaf - If I Can't Have You CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: C (# Spoken #) To say it's love would be too simple, too obvious It's more like a calling, a vocation Something I was put on this earth to do Now I'm shooting with the stars and I'm flying with the angels

And my heartbeat is a ^Gsymphony, the closer I get to ^Cyou

I never saw you ^Fcoming, 'til you came and here you ^Care I never thought some^Fone would ever dare to come this ^Cfar You're up for the re^Fsistance and I'm strong in my per^Gsistence

And I've never known a remedy like ours CHORUS:

If I ^Ccan't ^Ghave ^Fyou, if I ^Ccan't ^Ghave ^Fyou ^AmI would be a river, ^Emdried up into dust ^FI would be imprisoned for ^Gnever having loved If I ^Fcan't ^Chave ^Gyou,^C I don't ^Gwanna be ^Cme

Then I would be the same man you ^Fscraped off the ^Cground I'd have to go back ^Fbeing, that broken soul you ^Cfound Those days are in the ^Fdarkness, I ^Cburied them with ^Ghardness

And I'd have to dig those demons out

Your ^Clife is like an anchor that ^Fputs me in my ^Cplace No, you won't let me sink, when I'm ^Foff losing my ^Cway Thank God for your virtue and the ^Fwisdom in your ^Ceye 'Cause ^Gsomehow you get through, on all that crazy in my mind

CHORUS:

If I ^Ccan't ^Ghave ^Fyou, if I ^Ccan't ^Ghave ^Fyou ^AmI would be a river, ^Emdried up into dust ^FI would be imprisoned for ^Gnever having loved If I ^Fcan't ^Chave ^Gyou,^C I don't ^Gwanna be ^Fme ^C ^G

I don't wanna be...

^DmWhy did it ^Ftake you so ^Clong to f^Ginally see That ^Dmwe had a ^Flove that you ^Cdon't find easi^Gly? ^DmYou broke my ^Fheart and the ^Amprice to pay for ^Gthat Is you'll ^Dmhave to live the ^Fmisery of ^Amlosing what you ^Ghad__^F___^C__ ^G If I ^Fcan't ^Chave ^Gyou_^C___^G_ ^F

Me, my ^Bmwords have ^Gcome too ^Dlate I've a^Bmlready ^Gturned that ^Dpage Don't you ^Glook at me that way 'Cause you'll ^Esus4throw me back And that's the part I ^Dhate I'll stay ^Bmtrapped in^Gside my ^Dhell Where it's so ^Bmhot that my ^Gwalls ^Dmelt I can ^Bmhear a promise in ^Aevery lie You said you'd never ^Dtell
