[Verso 1]
 

G 
It was a second ago 
G 
I was touching every finger 
              Em 
I seen in the marigolds 
Em 
That lean against our window 
         C 
That you planted in the springtime 
C 
And you watered with abandon 
       Dsus4 
I would watch you as you garden 
Dsus4 
And my heart would just imagine 


[Verso 2]
 

       G 
When i look behind 
G 
I guess i could have noticed 
           Em 
And that's half the crime 
Em 
I was innocently hopeful 
           C 
Could have listened to your breathing 
C 
It was heavy on my shoulder 
           Dsus4 
There were things i could have told you 
Dsus4 
It was easier to hold you 


[Refrão]


    G 
Now how can i 
G                              Em 
Be not allowed to love you anymore 
Em 
Can i be not allowed to love you 
        Dsus4 
Was the thing that i was best at 
Dsus4 
That i didn't have to guess at 
        C 
It was all that i could say i knew for sure 
C                  G      Dsus4 
I can't say it anymore 


[Verso 3]


         G 
Will you think of me 
G                                    Em 
Will i fade into some corner of your memory 
Em 
And in my company 
        C 
All the ones that came before me 
C 
Fallen soldiers of your army 
      Dsus4 
If you could tell them for me 
Dsus4 
I'd have stayed despite the warnings 


[Refrão]


    G 
And how can i 
G                             Em 
Be not allowed to love you anymore 
Em 
Can i be not allowed to love you 
        Dsus4 
Was the thing that i was best at 
Dsus4 
That i didn't have to guess at 
       C 
It was all that i could say i knew for sure 
C                 G      Dsus4 
I can't say it anymore 


[Ponte]


   Em     C 
Anymore 
   G      Dsus4 
Anymore 
   Em     C 
Anymore 
   G      Dsus4 
Anymore 

Solo 
G     Em     Dsus4    C 


[Refrão]


   G 
Oh how can i 
G                             Em 
Be not allowed to love you anymore 
Em 
Can i be not allowed to love you 
        Dsus4 
Was the thing that i was best at 
Dsus4 
That i didn't have to guess at 
       C 
It was all that i could say i knew for sure 
                   G 
I can't say it anymore
