       A New Musical”
Key: C,Eb,D,F

Key: C

5    5 -5   -5  6   6
And in my twist-ed face
5        5  -5    -5    6    6
There's not the slight-est trace
5  5 -5  -5    6   6  5   7    -6  6    -5
Of an-y-thing that e-ven hints of kind-ness

Key: Eb

-5*  -5* -6 -6    7     7
And from my tor-tured shape
-5*-5*  -6   -6 -6* -6*
No com-fort, no es-cape
-5*-5* -6   -6   7   7 -5*-7* 7*   7      7
I see, but deep with-in is ut-ter blind-ness

Key: C

7     -5   6 -6   7     5
Hope-less as my dream dies
6  -6   7    -5
As the time flies
6    7  -5  6  -6  7
Love a lost il-lu-sion
7     -5   6  -7   7  5
Help-less  Un-for-giv-en
6    -6   7   -5
Cold and driv-en
6   7   -5   6  -6   7
To this sad con-clu-sion
8    8  -8  -7    7   -7
No beau-ty could move me
7   7    -6  6   -5   6
No good-ness im-prove me
8   8  -8 -7   7    7 -6  6     6   -5
No pow-er on earth, if I can't love her
8   8   -8   -7     7   -7
No pas-sion could reach me
7   7  -6    6     -5  6
No les-son could teach me
8   8   -8   -7    7    7
How I could have loved her 
7    -6   6   6   7  -5
and made her love me too 
6 -6   7     5   5    -5   5
If I can't love her, then who?
6   -5 6 -6   -5    -4   6
Long a-go I should have seen
6   -5    6   -6  -5    7    6
All the things I could have been
-5    5   -5  6   -6    6  -6  7    -7  -7
Care-less and un-think-ing, I moved on-ward

Key: D

-9  -9    8*  -8  -7  -8
No pain could be deep-er
-7  -7    7  -6*   6  -6*
No life could be cheap-er
-9  -9   8*-8  -7   -7 7  -6*   -6*  6
No point an-y-more, if I can't love her

Key: F

-10 -10-9*  -9    9  -9
No spir-it could win me
8   8   -7*   -7  7  -7
No hope left with-in me
-10 -10 -9*   -9    8    8
Hope I could have loved her 
8    -7*  -7   -7  8   7
and that she'd set me free 
-7  -7*   8  -6 7
But it's not to be
-7-7*  8    -6   7
If I can't love her
7   -7   -7*  8   -9  -10 -10
Let the world be done with me.
