Play Ryth Fig. 1 total of 2x over these verses (doubled by clean electric) Baby we can talk all night But that ain’t getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There’s nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But that’ll never change the way that I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here (Fill 1)

Fig 1 Now there’s only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I’ll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back, ohh I know Well I remember how she left me on that stormy night Oh she kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away D E And she kept on telling me D E She kept on telling me D D E She kept on telling me _______________________ CHORUS A I want you (I want you) F#Maj I need you (I need you) D E C#m F#Maj But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you D F#Maj D A E Now don’t be sad (Don’t be sad cause) D E F#Maj ‘Cause two out of three ain’t bad A I want you (I want you) F#Maj I need you (I need you) D E C#m F#Maj But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you D F#Maj D A E Now don’t be sad (Don’t be sad cause) D E F#Maj ‘Cause two out of three ain’t bad D A E Now don’t be sad D E A ‘Cause two out of three ain’t bad (Band tacet, piano only) Baby we can talk all night But that ain’t getting us nowhere ___________________________________ That’s all.
