Verse 
 
If I can't be the man 
Am 
Tell me what I am 
Em  
Tell me what I'm here for 
Dm                    Em 
 
 
If I can't be the one 
Am 
Tell her what I've done 
Em 
What good can I be for? 
Dm                 Em 
 
 
Did I not do enough 
Am 
To save the two of us? 
Em 
What more could I give her? 
Dm                     Em 
 
               
What more could I do 
Am 
To see her point of view?

Why can't I believe her?

Am          Dm          
I can't take it no more

You've gotten nowhere

And taken my hope 
   Am     Dm   G

And taken my hope

Oh, oh oh. Oh, oh, oh 
Am 
Oh, oh oh. Oh, oh, oh
