If I Can''t Have You by 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
G C
And my heartbeat is a symphony, the closer I get to you
F C
I never saw you coming, ''til you came and here you are
F C
I never thought someone would ever dare to come this far
F G
You''re up for the resistance and I''m strong in my persistence
And I''ve never known a remedy like ours
CHORUS:
C G F C G F
If I can''t have you, if I can''t have you
Am Em
I would be a river, dried up into dust
F G
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
F C G C G C
If I can''t have you, I don''t wanna be me
F C
Then I would be the same man you scraped off the ground
F C
I''d have to go back being, that broken soul you found
F C G
Those days are in the darkness, I buried them with hardness
And I''d have to dig those demons out
C F C
Your life is like an anchor that puts me in my place
F C
No, you won''t let me sink, when I''m off losing my way
F C
Thank God for your virtue and the wisdom in your eye
G
''Cause somehow you get through, on all that crazy in my mind
CHORUS:
C G F C G F
If I can''t have you, if I can''t have you
Am Em
I would be a river, dried up into dust
F G
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
F C G C G F C G
If I can''t have you, I don''t wanna be me
I don''t wanna be...
Dm F C G
Why did it take you so long to finally see
Dm F C G
That we had a love that you don''t find easily?
Dm F Am G
You broke my heart and the price to pay for that
Dm F Am G F C G
Is you''ll have to live the misery of losing what you had_______

Bm G D
Me, my words have come too late
Bm G D
I''ve already turned that page
G
Don''t you look at me that way
Esus4
''Cause you''ll throw me back
D
And that''s the part I hate
Bm G D
I''ll stay trapped inside my hell
Bm G D
Where it''s so hot that my walls melt
Bm A
I can hear a promise in every lie
D
You said you''d never tell
Bm G D
If I had only told the truth

Oh, I could never trust you to
A
You''ll survive
A G C G

I can''t let go

Why don''t you stay with me, tonight?

I feel alone

Turn off all the lights

Take me home
