from the album German Afternoons written by John Prine and Steve Goodman [Introduction] G B7 C D G [Verse]
      G                         B7
Well, every time I try to love another

  C           D              G   D
I never know exactly what to do

    G                                B7
I'd like to tell her just how much I want her

    C                D               G
And I could find the way if she were you
[Verse]
    G                              B7
Her eyes may shine for me and not another,

    C                 D              G    D
Her lonely arms reach out to hold me too

    G                                  B7
She wants to take your place and be my lover

    C                D                G
And I could make her mine if she were you
[Chorus]
  D                                 G
I never knew how much I cared about you

          A7                        D    D7
Till your memory made me a lovesick fool

         G                                    B7
When she speaks to me I hear your sweet voice calling

       C                  D               G     D
When I close my eyes your face comes into view

     G                            B7
I remember how it hurt when I was falling

    C              D               G
And I could fall again if she were you
[Instrumental] G B7 C D G D G B7 C D G [Chorus]
  D                                 G
I never knew how much I cared about you

          A7                        D    D7
Till your memory made me a lovesick fool

    G                                  B7
She wants to take your place and be my lover

    C                D                G
And I could make her mine if she were you

     C                D                G   D  G
Yes, I could make her mine if she were you
