You Can’t Love By Yourself

I actually took this line from something in the message
board that someone said and I thought it would make
a good song...so here it is...

        G                               Am
I could see them down at the end of the bar
C                                     D
The place was small so it wasn’t very far
G                                   Am
I saw her look at him with pleading eyes
C                                    D              
She had that look that no one can disguise


I watched her eyes fill up and spill down her cheek
Her mouth was open but there were no words to speak
He stood up and and he briskly walked away
I barely heard her words as she softly prayed

          G  C          G     C G
You can’t lo-ove by yourself
G G/F#      Em                   A7        D      
I could not stand it if I had to love by myself
G             C          G  G/F#  Em
Life is hard enough in itsee-e-e-elf
C         D           G              
You can’t love by yourself


She raised her head before he was out of view
Heartaches do come but this made quite a few
She dabbed her eyes and did her best to compose
What’s left of her pride after those last few blows
