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 -- Eb
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- Bb
Hopeless
C/Bb- 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- Bb
Helpless
C/Bb-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-Bb
How I could have loved her and make her love me too
     F/A        Fm/Ab-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
Bb- F/A- Bb- C/Bb-Gm7            Asus4
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward


A 
F#m - C - D/C 
G/B D/A 
G6/9 D/F# 
Em/G - F#m/A - G/B - A/C# - 


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
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-Bb -
No spirit could win me
F/C-A#/D    -    C/E-F -- C/E --
No hope left within me
Dm - Gm7    -     F/A   -   Bb       -     Dm- Am-Eb
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
         Bb/D   Bbm6/C# -
But it's not to be
     F        C7sus4 - C7 - Bb/C - C -
If I can't love her
Gm/C--Am/C--A#/C--Am/C--A#/C
Let the world be done 
with 
F C#
me.
