I Can't Write That

• C

Bm#5addC x20010

C            Bm#5addC     Am       G     
  I make my living with paper and pencil
F        G       C  G
  And an old guitar
C        Bm#5addC   Am           G 
  I use melody and words that rhyme
F                      G
  To tug at other's hearts
F                        C
  But mine is still too tender
F            G     C    C-Em-F
  To put her on a page
F                      Em
  'cause I'd have to remember
    Dm            G
The day she went away

          C                       G
I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
          C     Dm   Em            F
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
          C                  G
And if I lived it, it would kill me
Am               G      F   Em
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
           Dm      G               C
And that's too sad, I can't write that

Bm#5addC     Am       F

C        Bm#5addC      Am          G 
  I know memories last forever Whenever 
F      G            C     G
  you put 'em in a song
C             Bm#5addC             Am                  G
  But I can't take the chance that this one would be a big one
F                           G
  And they'd play it on and on
F                        C
'cause when it comes to her love
       F         G         C     C-Em-F
I get choked up and break down
F                      Em
  These feelings are just to much
    Dm            G
to share with you right now

          C                       G
I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
          C     Dm   Em            F
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
          C                  G
And if I lived it, it would kill me
Am               G      F   Em
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
           Dm      G               C
And that's too sad, I can't write that

Bm#5addC     Am       G  F G 
Am            G          F   Em            Dm
   She ain't ever comin' back   and thats too sad
G           C
I can't write that
