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
- Gsus-- --
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
-
Hopeless
- /
As my dream dies
As the time flies
- /F--- -
Love a lost illusion
-
Helpless
- /
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
/--- -
To this sad conclusion
[slow]
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
- Gm7add4 - - -
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.
