CAPO 5 
 
VERSE: 
 
        G                   D/F#      
She can hear his car, as it pulls in the drive. 
        Em                       Bm 
She can whisper a prayer: "Thank God, he's alive." 
        C                     Am   
She can meet him at the door; catch him when he falls. 
        Em                   F   
She can even believe that it isn't his fault. 
              G 
But she can't save him 
 
VERSE: 
        G                       D/F# 
She can make his coffee, in the cold light of day. 
        Em                         Bm 
She can make his excuses: tell the boss he'll be late. 
        C                            Am  
She can wave at the neighbours, then kiss him goodbye, 
    Em                        F  
And not say a word 'bout what happened last night. 
              G 
But she can't save him. 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
 
 
C                              F  
Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream, 
        G 
And the water keeps pulling him down. 
C                          F 
She reaches for him, as he pulls her in. 
    Bb                    D 
She wakes just before she drowns. 
 
VERSE: 
 
G                    D/F#          
She can remember the man that he was, 
    Em                    Bm             
And still shed a tear for what he's become. 
        C                  Am 
She can live in that house until the day, 
    Em                     F       
She sees that it's only herself she can save. 
                 G         D/F#  Em  Bm    
'Cause she can't save him. 
         C                  Am  
And on that day she'll know she hasn't failed, 
      Em                      F 
'Cos nothing can change until he saves himself. 
              G         D/F#  Em  F 
No, she can't save him. 
              G         D/F#  Em  F (LET RING) 
No, she can't save him. 
                         G     -FADE 
No, she can't save him.
