Love She Can't Live Without

Clint Black (D'lectrified)
Written By: Clint Black, Skip Ewing          Transcribed By: Paul Stranieri
Thanks Guys!

Key F
Capo 3rd Fret

Verse:
D                      DaddC Em               Em7       A            D
He gives her attention,      he's constantly, carefully planting the seeds
                       DaddC Em            Em7        A   Bm
The only thing missing,      is really the only thing she needs
             G         A      Bm            G            A
And he can't give that to her and she can't find it with him
Bm                G            A      Em         Em7        A
So she'll have to find her way out of love she's not really in

Chorus:
        G              A         D
She can live with what goes with leaving
    G              A    D
She knows it's the only way
          G            A         Bm
Though it kills her to give up believin'
          Em           Em7         A
She can't live with herself if she stays
          G          A             D
She could settle for what she'd be feeling
       G           A               G
If she gave in and worked this one out
                     Em      Em7               D
She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
                      Em7  D   A              D    G    D    G
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

Verse:
D                      DaddC Em               Em7     A      D
She looks in the mirror      and sees all the sadness in her eyes
                       DaddC Em        Em7           A    D
It's never been clearer      what he's asking her to sacrifice
              G         A     Bm             G          A
But she can't be his forever, she can't even be his for now
Bm                G            A            Em    Em7     A
She'll have to be kind to them both and let go of him somehow

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
        G       A           G
And the hardest part is she loves him
                         Em      Em7          D
But she doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
                      Em7  D   A                  D   G
She wants the kind of love she can't live without
