Mascis sometimes plays this song live with the capo on the 5th fret.
Capo 5
G
she was gone again
Fmaj7 C
and I'm not sure what I knew
G
but I looked again
Fmaj7 C
and the truth gave me a clue
G
said my love
Fmaj7 C
why was it not enough to keep
G
and it's tough
Fmaj7 C
and I can't accept defeat
D Fmaj7
and i know my mind, i know i should be grateful
D Fmaj7
but it's hard for me I'm done so easily
Chorus:
G
can we be loved, can we be free
Fmaj7 C
can we be all these things you said to me
G
can we be loved, can we explain
Fmaj7 C
can we be all these things and hold our pain
G
can we be love
Fmaj7
can we be free
G
can we go on
Fmaj7
can we not see
D Fmaj7
cause i know myself and i can't take it easy
D Fmaj7
and it can't be good if I'm the one who's me

Verse:
G
and we were off again
Fmaj7 D
and i just could not believe
G
it took so long again
Fmaj7 D
should've known, should've seen
G
said my love
Fmaj7 D
that was the only way to be
G
not enough
Fmaj7 D
then the future came to me
D Fmaj7
and i know my mind, I'm out of time it's over
D Fmaj7
and I'll leave it here, is there no way to show her
Chorus:
G
can we be loved, can we be free
Fmaj7 C
can we be all these things you said to me
G
can we be loved, can we explain
Fmaj7 C
can we be all these things and hold our pain
G
can we be love
Fmaj7
can we be free
G
can we go on
Fmaj7
can we not see
G
said my love,
Fmaj7 C
that was the only way to be
G
not enough
Fmaj7 C
and i can't believe it's me
D Fmaj7
and i know my love, i know my love is over
D Fmaj7
and i wish i did, I wish i didn't know
