Title: If You Could Only See
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

version 4
***Capo on 1*** – This is usually relative to voice, but I can’t stand playing it
any other way regardless.
I play this with all open chords, except when the part comes up “Sayin’ you love
but you don’tâ€, I like to use bar chords for C & G.
Most performers use bar chords on the verse chords as well, but I
prefer open when playing it acoustically.
Lastly, a lot of people have issues figuring out the strumming pattern.
You just have to take is slow and work your way up to the speed and rhythm that
best fits YOU, over time you’ll figure out the best way to perform it for yourself.
