If I Only Had The Heart

	  		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 B5, C#5, D#5, E5 Whether you use these or not is up to  
you. I feel it sounds better "my" way) 

 (All chords are relevant to the capo)

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 

E                           A 
I know I sound repetitive 
                      E 
Cause I'm repeating myself 
                      B 
And I'm competitive 
                          E 
I want you all by yourself 
                  A                  E 
And that alone is just the problem 
(E) 
I've got these woes 
  B 
I just can't solve them 
           E                     A 
If I could gather up the nerve 
           E              B 
I'd put my feelings into words 
         E                    A                     E 
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless 
                    B 
I might be able to just soon forget this 
C#      B       A                  C#        Eb       E 
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this 

E          A             C# 
Please just forget me 
         B       A 
When I'm out all alone on the east coast 
E           A            C# 
Please don't forgive me 
            B        A 
When you're home all alone 
                      E     A 
And you need me most 
                         E     B 
Oh, and you need me most 
Yeah, when you need me most 

E   A   E   B 

          E                  A 
Oh, if I only had the heart 
             E                   B 
To find out exactly who you are 
(You know I'd try now) 
    E 
But it's just fine 
    A 
No you can't save me 
        E 
It's no fault but mine 
B 
Please just blame me 

           E                     A 
If I could gather up the nerve 
           E              B 
I'd put my feelings into words 
         E                    A                     E 
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless 
                    B 
I might be able to just soon forget this 
C#      B       A                  C#        B        A 
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this 

E          A             C# 
Please just forget me 
         B       A 
When I'm out all alone on the east coast 
E           A            C# 
Please don't forgive me 
            B        A 
When you're home all alone 
                      E     A 
And you need me most 
                         E     B 
Oh, and you need me most 
Yeah, when you need me most
