Why Can't You Love Me
By Wade Bowen
Tabbed By Larry Mofle

Wade is using some chord changes that are subtle that I haven’t
Completely figured out yet…but here are the basic chords.


E
Why can’t you love me
E                        A 
Why can’t you just be my girl
         E
Why’s it all got to be so complicated
E                      A 
If you really love someone
  E
I know you don’t really love me
    E                     A
And baby I guess that’s alright
E
At least I had my moment with you
    E                             A
And I’ll have that the rest of my life
B                                     A 
Sometimes your dreams just don’t work out
    B                        A
You know I’ve had my share before
                 B                                  A                                    
Guess it’s just another time that I’ll have to walk through
        B        E
Another unopened door


Why’s it so hard
Hiding all of my pain
I’ll try not to be sad girl
I’ll just hide my tears behind the rain coming down
If that’s the only way to make you happy
Then I’ll do it against my will
Yeah we could have been something really special
Now that’s just a prophecy left unfulfilled
I hope my heart can handle all of this
It’s crazy the things I'm feeling inside
Maybe someday I’ll get over you
But for now I don’t even want to try


Guitar

B                                     A
Sometimes your dreams just don’t work out
         B                              A
And it’s crazy the things I'm feeling inside
      B                     A
Maybe someday I’ll get over you
                    B            E
But for now I don’t even want to try, whoa girl I don’t even want to try

Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you just be my girl
Why’s it all got to be so complicated
In this complicated world

If you are talking aboutthe change after he goes to A. What I heard was a hammer on to the D string fouth fret so it's A/F#. Play for a little then pull off back to regular A. listen to the cd for rythm.

this song is called unopened door on the blue light cd

It doesn't sound quite right because the chords are in some sort of open key. I believe the correct chords go like this:

E-079900
Asus-002200
B-024400

The slight variations you are talking about are a pull off and a hammer on on E chord, on the G string on the 8th and 9th frets.

This is how I play it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

can someone tab out the intro to this song.
-cecil71 | 8/14/2008
i agree!! we need to get an intro!!!!
-bherrick | 3/23/2009
alright I never do this but I was messing with this song combining stuff dad's showed me before along with the suggestions in the comments above. I'm definitely not an expert and don't have much business giving many tips, but here's my two-cents:

using essentially the same chords as twest suggested

E-79900--with that hammer on the G string, 8th fret
A-x07600--with another hammer on the G string, 8th fret
B-709800

Same progression, just try those fingerings for the chords. it's working for me. And if you have an ear for pickin out intros, those chords will help you find it. it includes a hammer on the high string 7th fret but I can't describe much more of it. like i said, not really my place ha!

His change is this

E- 079900 and he changes to E- 079800
A- 002200 and he chnages to A- 002100

those are the only chords he does it to
