INTRO: C   D   Em   F

        G
She can hear his car as it pulls in the drive
        Em                                  G
She can whisper a prayer, "Thank god he's alive"
        C                        Am
She can meet him at the door and catch him when he falls
        Em                    F
She can even believe that it isn't his fault
              G
But she can't save him


    
She can make his coffee in the cold light of day
        Em                         G
She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late
        C                       Am
She can wave at the neighbours, kiss him goodbye
    Em                        F
And not say a word about 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 


    G
But she can remember the man that he was 
    Em                      G
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
'Cause she can't save him


INSTRUMENTAL: G     Em    G


    C                      Am
And that day she'll know, she hasn't failed
       Em                       F
'Cause nothing can change 'til he saves himself
                 G          D   Em
'Cause she can't save him
              G          D   Em   F
No, she can't save him
                   G
No, she can't save him
