Tuning: STD
capo 5
I absolutely fell in love with this song, so I've decided to do a full tutorial
on playing it to the high guitar sound of Lindsey Buckingham.
The Key is in G, but tabbed relative to capo.
The most important aspect of playing this song well is being precise on the high (e) string,
this is really where the whole song gets its feel. Soft in the verses and a bang
in the chorus. Enjoy!

Notice how the high (e) string is identical to the intro, imperative that you maintain that feel

Chorus
-I like to change in between the big G and the G6 for the chorus for the best sound.
Every other time pull of the pinky on your normal G
-You don't need the slap in the second half,
just play G6 like the Big G, just depends on the time of the song.
-The first 2 D's are played hard and go with "Love You" "With You" etc� quick chord change to Bm

************************************
If I [D]loved[Dsus4] you, [Dsus2]life would be [D]easy[Dsus2]
There'd be [D]no truth[Dsus4] that [Dsus2]I'd be scared [D]of
I could [D]walk th[Dsus4]rough [Dsus2]every [D]valley[Dsus2]
And you'd [D]light me[Dsus4] with [Dsus2]all of your lo[D]ve
But I don't [D]love y[Bm]ou, [G]not like I [D]want to
I don't love[D] you [Bm]and [G6]that makes it [D5]hard
And every [D]morning[Bm], I [G]see how you [D]watch me
And each [D]night I know you [Bm]feel it and it [G6]just breaks your [D5]heart
You'd make good [D]money[G] and [Em7]come home ea[D]rly[Dsus2]
And you'd [D]kiss me[G] and [Em7]hold me each [D]night
We would have [D]childre[G]n and they would [Em7]be so [D]beautiful
And we'd [D]raise the[G]m and [Em7]all would be [D]right
But I don't [D]love yo[Bm]u, [G]not like you [D]need it
I don't [D]love yo[Bm]u, [G6]good as you [D5]are
And when I [D]kiss yo[Bm]u, I [G]know that you can [D]feel it
And I [D]see it in your [Bm]eyes, and it [G6]just breaks my [D5]heart
[G]I wish to God I could ch[A]ange it, darling
Could [D]make [C]you the [G]one
[G]I will always [D]have these regrets and wonder
[D]What else I [C]could have [G]done, I [A]will
'Cause if I [D]loved[Dsus4] you, [Dsus2]I could be [D]happy[Dsus2]
I would [D]make yo[Dsus4]u the [Dsus2]light of my [D]world
I wouldn't [D]wait, l[Dsus4]ove, I'd [Dsus2]marry you [D]tomorr[Dsus2]ow
And we'd [D]make lo[Dsus4]ve and [Dsus2]I'd be your [D]girl
But I don't [D]love yo[Bm]u, [G]much as I [D]want to
I don't [D]love you[Bm], no, it w[G6]ould be a [D]lie
And you de[D]serve love[Bm], you're [G]better than a [D]good day
And you'll [D]find it[Bm], just [G6]not in my [D5]eyes
'Cause it ain't [D]here lov[Bm]e, [G]no[D]
'Cause it ain't [D]here lov[Bm]e, [G6]no[D]
'Cause it ain't [D]here lov[Bm]e, [G]no[D]
'Cause it ain't [D]here love[Bm], and it [G6]just breaks my [D5]heart
