       E         A              E 
I know you can?t always be here with me 
          B7                                   E 
You can?t find what all you need with just one man 
       E           A               E 
You?re hardly ever free and seldom lonely 
                   A       E       B7       E  
What I?m trying to say is, love me when you can 


[Refrão]
          A                            E      
And don?t feel like I expect you to be true to me 
   E                                 B7 
Anytime you have to leave, I?ll understand 
        E                A                 E 
I don?t have what all it takes to keep you happy 
                   A      E        B7       W 
What I?m tryin? to say is, love me when you can 
 
Solo 
 
 
(Merle speaking over the first 2 lines) 
 
Let me be the one you sometimes come to  
You just barely have time for one more friend 
I?ll be satisfied with any crumb you throw me 
What I?m tryin? to say is 
 
Chorus
