        G 
She can hear his car as it pulls in the drive 
        Em                                  G 
She can whisper a prayer, "Thank god he's alive"

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

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

No, she can't save him 
                   G 
No, she can't save him
