Chords for Stephen Sondheim's Passion - "I Wish I Could Forget You" (Live)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Would you do me a great favor before you leave?
_ Would you write a letter for me? _
Certainly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My dearest, _ Fosca. _
[Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ Please.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ My [Bbm] dearest, _ _ _ _ [F] Fosca. _ _ _
_ _ [Am] I wish I [Db] could forget _ [Bbm] _ you,
_ [A] _ _
_ _ [Gb] erase you from [Db] my _ [Bbm] _ _ mind.
_ [A] _ _
_ [Abm] But ever since [Db] I met _
[Bbm] you, I [Ab] [Db] find
[Eb] I cannot [Gb] leave the thought [C] of you _ [Fm] behind.
_ [E] That doesn't mean [Bbm] I love you.
That doesn't mean I [Fm] love [Ebm] you.
[C] I wish [Gb] that [Db] I could love [Ebm] you.
[Ab] _ [Ebm] _
[Ab] Please.
_ [Ebm] _ [Gb] I [Db] know [Ebm] that I've [Bb] upset [Bbm] you. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gbm] I know I've [Bb] been _ [Bbm] _ _ unkind.
[A] _ _
_ [Gb] I wanted [Gbm] you [Fm] to [Bbm] vanish _ from [F] sight.
_ [Gbm] But now I see [Ab] you in a [Db] different _ [Ab] light.
_ _ [Ebm] And though I [Bbm]
cannot love [C] you, _ _ _
_ I wish that [Ab] I could love _ _ [Ebm] you.
_ [Ab] _ _
For now I'm [Bb] seeing _ _ love
_ [Ab] _ _ _
[Fm] like none I've [Bb] ever _ _ known.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] A love as pure [Bb] as breath,
as [F] permanent [Eb] as death,
[Bb] _ _ implacable [Ab] as [Eb] stone.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] A love that like [Db] a knife
has cut into [G] a life
I wanted left [Fm] _ alone.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
A love I may [Bb] _ [Fm] regret,
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
but one I _ can't [Gb] forget. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't know how [Db] I let _ [Bbm] you
_ _ [F] _ _
so [Gb] _ far inside [Db] my _ _ [Bbm] mind.
_ _ [A] _ _
[Abm] But there you are,
[Db] and there [Bbm] you will [Gbm] stay.
How could I [Db] ever wish _ you _ [C] away?
_ [Bb] I see now I [Ebm] was _ _ [Bbm] blind. _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Ab] And [Bbm] should you [Ebm] die _ tomorrow,
[Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Db] the other thing [Ebm] I _ [Ab] see,
_ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Abm] your [Bbm] love will live [Ebm] in _ _ _ [Bbm] me.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] I remain always _ [Bbm] _ _ your [Bb] _ _
Giorgio.
