Chords

A* designates an A (A C# D) but ideally played higher than the preceding Bm. I played Bm as 4222 and A* as 6454. Also, if you want to play that characteristic recurring guitar riff with chords, try D A D Bm D A D
D            Bm               A          D
Friend, this shouldn't be the way things end

D           Bm             A         D
But then, a break is just around the bend.

D            Bm           A
And when you tell me as I leave

       Em                         A
You're scared you'll never see my face again

      Em                    G
Well, I'm not sure it's the truth 

G                     A
You don't think I can love you 

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

      Bm        A*         D
But I can and I will and I do

D             Bm                A     D
You write - I read your letters every night 

D            Bm                A    D
All right, I skim them just to be polite. 

D         Bm              A
I fight embarrassment and shame 

    Em                         A
The mention of your name makes me turn white 

    Em                     G
But guilt still makes me refrain 

G                     A
You don't think I can love you 

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

      Bm        A*         D
But I can and I will and I do 

G  A                  D              Bm
I imagine you think I don't think of you 

G            A                D
You know you couldn't be more wrong 

G       A                    D                 Bm
If good intentions paved the road that gets me through 

G               A
Then I've got a six-lane highway 

G       A
And I intend to someday 

G          A              Bm        A*         D
Do all the things I say I can and I will and I do 

D          Bm             A   D
Hey - it's hard for me to go away 

D       Bm             A
Okay, I know it's not adult

         Em                    A
But it's just as difficult for me to stay

    Em         G
And anyway you say 

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

G                     A
You don't think I can love you

G                     A
You don't think I can love you love you love you love you 

  Bm        A*         D
I can and I will and I do

  Bm        A*         D
I can and I will and I do
