If I Only Had The Heart

The Maine

Hello! This is my first tab. I am merely combining what I've learned from videos and the (limited) tabs across the internet, into a simple chord sheet for people to get the jist of the song. To figure out the rhythm, listen to the song. Hope you enjoy! (Side Note: When I play, I use Whether you use these or not is up to you. I feel it sounds better "my" way) (All chords are relevant to the capo) This: e|---0-------0-------0-------0---| B|-----0-------0-------0-------0-| G|-------------------------------| D|-2-----2/4-----4/6-----6/1-----| A|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| is played over the first four lines of the song. It is played again during the song, so I will refer to it as IR1 (Intro Riff 1) IR1 I fell asleep last night (I fell asleep last night) IR1 But I woke up too late (I woke up too late) IR1 And everything I loved (Everything I loved) IR1 Oh I begin to hate I know I sound repetitive Cause I'm repeating myself And I'm competitive I want you all by yourself And that alone is just the problem () I've got these woes I just can't solve them If I could gather up the nerve I'd put my feelings into words And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless I might be able to just soon forget this Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this Please just forget me When I'm out all alone on the east coast Please don't forgive me When you're home all alone And you need me most Oh, and you need me most Yeah, when you need me most Oh, if I only had the heart To find out exactly who you are (You know I'd try now) But it's just fine No you can't save me It's no fault but mine Please just blame me If I could gather up the nerve I'd put my feelings into words And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless I might be able to just soon forget this Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this Please just forget me When I'm out all alone on the east coast Please don't forgive me When you're home all alone And you need me most Oh, and you need me most Yeah, when you need me most (x2) A (hold) Riff 2 (R2): S S T.

Feel free to change it around and play it the way you like it. Hope this helps! -PinealOptics
