Intro: CDEmFG
She can hear his car as it pulls in the drive
EmG
She can whisper a prayer, "Thank god he's alive"
CAm
She can meet him at the door and catch him when he falls
EmF
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
EmG
She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late
CAm
She can wave at the neighbours, kiss him goodbye
EmF
And not say a word about what happened last night
G
But she can't save him
Bridge:
CF
Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream
G
And the water keeps pulling him down
CF
She reaches for him as he pulls her in
BbD
She wakes just before she drowns
G
But she can remember the man that he was
EmG
And still shed a tear for what he's become
CAm
She can live in that house, until the day
EmF
She sees that it's only herself she can save
G
'Cause she can't save him
Instrumental: GEmGCAm
And that day she'll know, she hasn't failed
EmF
'Cause nothing can change 'til he saves himself
GDEm
'Cause she can't save him
GDEmF
No, she can't save him
G
No, she can't save him
