If You Could Touch Her At All

Bill Callahan


Tom: G

G                                       C
Funny a woman can come home so wild and free
D7                                                      G
And insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
                                               C
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
D7                                                   G
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold

                                               C
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
D7                                                         G
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
                                                       C
Sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
D7                                                               G
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

                                   C
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
D7                                                   G
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
                                             C
And leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
D7                                              G
Fighting to catch his first breath and open his eyes

                                               C
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
D7                                                         G
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
                                                       C
Sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
D7                                                               G
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
