SONG: If I Can't Love Her
ARTIST: Alan Menken & Tim Rice
From the musical Beauty And The Beast
Intro:
C C
Am F - C/G -- G7 -- C
Am
And in my twisted face
C/G
There's not the slightest trace
F - Fmaj7/G--G -- D#
Of anything that even hints of kindness
B
And from my tortured shape
Cm
No comfort, no escape
Fm - Gsus--G7 --
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Em- A#
Hopeless
C/A#- F/A C/G
As my dream dies
F6/9
As the time flies
C/E - Dm/F-Em/G-F/A-G/B -
Love a lost illusion
Em- A#
Helpless
C/A#-F/A C/G
Unforgiven
F6/9 C/E
Cold and driven
Dm/F-Em/G-F/A-G/A -
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
Am-Dm7 - C/E - F - Fmaj7/G - Fmaj7/A -
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
Am- Dm7 - C/E - F - Am - Em-A#
How I could have loved her and make her love me too
F/A Fm/G#-G7- Am
If I can't love her, then who?
Am
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
A#- F/A- A#- C/A#-Gm7 Asus
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward

No pain could be deeper
D/A-G/B - A/C#-D -- A/C# --
No life could be cheaper
Bm-Em7 - D/F#- G - Gmaj7/A - Gmaj7/B -
No point anymore, if I can't love
A/C# - G/B -- A/C# --
her
F- Gm7add4 - F/A-A# -
No spirit could win me
F/C-A#/D - C/E-F -- C/E --
No hope left within me
Dm - Gm7 - F/A - A# - Dm- Am-D#
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
A#/D A#m6/C# -
But it's not to be
F/C C7sus - C7 - A#/C - C -
If I can't love her
