[Intro]
D    Em7  A7
 
 
[Verse 1]
D            G   D             G    D    G D
You say that you would like to try again
Em7                A7                    D   Em7 A
You'd open up your heart and let us back in
      D          G           D
Well, part of me wants to so bad, I can't stand it
Em7                    A
Part of me wants to be perfectly candid
 
 
[Chorus]
  D
I would if I could
                               Em7
But I can't, so I won't, but I want to
    A7                                                       D       Em7 A
I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to
  D
I love you enough that I'm lettin' you go
  Em7                       A
I love you so much that I'm tellin' you, "No"
  D                      Em7         A            D        Em7  A
I would if I could but I can't, so I won't, but I want to
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                                 G              D    G D
You're tellin' me things would be different this time
Em7                   A                     D    Em7 A
I wish your change of heart would change my mind
  D
I want to believe you, I'd try us again
     Em7                       G           A
If I really believed there was some future in it
 
 
[Chorus]
  D
I would if I could
                               Em7
But I can't, so I won't, but I want to
    A7                                                       D       Em7 A7
I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to
  D
I love you enough that I'm lettin' you go
  Em7                       A
I love you so much that I'm tellin' you, "No"
  D                      A/C#
I would if I could but I can't, so I won't
  Bm7                 Em     N.C.
I would if I could, I do and I don't
 
 
[Outro]
  D                             A
I would if I could but I can't, so I won't
N.C.          D    Em7  A  D
But I want to
