I was having this discussion
A D G A
In a taxi heading downtown
D G
Rearranging my position
A
On this friend of mine who had
D
A little bit of a breakdown
G A D
I said breakdowns come
G A
And breakdowns go
D
So what are you going to do about it
G A
That's what I'd like to know
D G
You don't feel you could love me
A D G A
But I feel you could
D G
It was in the early morning hours
A D G A
When I fell into a phone call
D G
Believing I had supernatural powers
A D
I slammed into a brick wall
G A D
I said hey, is this my problem?
G A
Is this my fault?
D
If that's the way it's going to be
G A
I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt
D G
You don't feel you could love me
A D G A
But I feel you could
D G
You don't feel you could love me
A D G A
But I feel you could
D G
I was walking down the street
A D G A
When I thought I heard this voice say
D G A
Say, ain't we walking down the same street together
D
On the very same day
G A D G
I said hey Seņorita that's astute
A D
I said why don't we get together
G A
And call ourselves an institute
D G
You don't feel you could love me
A D G A
But I feel you could
D G
You don't feel you could love me
A D G A
But I feel you could
