I Can Make It If You Can Chords & Lyrics - Boomtown Rats

[A] [E] [G] [F#m] [E] x4

[A] Somewhere a screen door [E]slammed
Somewhere, someplace, somebody's killing a man
Down the road I'm told five people died
And I wonder are you making love to anyone tonight

[Bm] Cos she and I, we're still [G]sitting here
[Bm] Our eyes are dry but we're [D]bored to tears
[A] She said lets talk about the future, lets for[G]get about the past
[A] Did I forget to tell you that the [D] future never lasts

[CHORUS]
[C] Can I [Bm]hold [A]on that [G]long
Is it worth the same old stringalong
[C] There's been a few [Bm]rights [A]but there's[D] many wrongs
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can

[A] Don't trust anything, es[E]pecially love
Be careful of the broken bottles on the wall above
They burn your brain and they tear at your mind
I know I won't be making love to anyone tonight

[Bm] Cos she and I, we're still [G]sitting here
[Bm] Our eyes are dry but we're [D]bored to tears
[A] I said there must be some future, if there's [G]been a past
[A] Don't talk about the present, [D] it makes me want to laugh

[C] Can I [Bm]hold [A]on that [G]long
Is it worth the same old stringalong
[C] There's been a few [Bm]rights [A]but there's[D] many wrongs
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can
we're gonna [G]mak[E]e i[D]t

[GUITAR SOLO]
[A] [E] x4

[Bm] Cos she and I, we're still [G]waiting here
[Bm] Our eyes are dry but we're [D]bored to tears
[A] Don't talk about the future, please don't [G]talk about the past
[A] Lets forget about the present, [D] it harder then to laugh and

[C] Can we [Bm]hold [A]on that [G]long (can we)
Is it worth the same old stringalong (same old thing everytime)
[C] There's been a few [Bm]rights [A]but there's[D] many wrongs
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can (you know I can)
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can
[C] I can [Bm]make it [A]if you [G]can [A] [G]
