Can't Stop Lovin' You Van Halen
can't Stop Lovin' You
Van Halen (Balance)

Notes:
This song is actually in A, but I first scoped in out in G and it's
(I think) easier to play that way (for me, anyhow) with more open
strings. Eddie obviously doesn't share my limitations...
There are several one-off sections in this song, most of which lead
into the chorus or solo sections; I've isolated them and labeled them
"pre-chorus" or whatever.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: Gsus4 G Gsus2 G (all strummed)
Reasonable facsimile of next intro part:
(Palm muting on beats in between, I think)
Verse 1:
there's a [G]time and place for everything, for [Em]everyone
we can [C]push with all our [D]might
but nothin's [G]gonna come, oh no, nothin's [Em]gonna change
and if i [C]asked you not to [D]try
Pre-chorus 1:
oh could you let it [Em]be
i wanna [C]hold you and say, we can't [Am]throw this all away
tell me you [F]won't go, you won't go, do you [D]have to hear me say
Chorus:
i can't stop [G]lovin' you, and no matter what i [Em]say or do
you know my [C]heart is true, o[D]h, i can't stop [G]lovin' you
Fill between chorus and verse (well, sorta):
e|---3--5--2------------------| B|---3--------3--1--0---------| G|---2-----2-----2-----2--0---| D|---0-----------0------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------|
Verse 2:
you can [G]change your friends, your place in life, you can [Em]change your mind
we can [C]change the things we [D]say and do [G]anytime
oh no, but i [Em]think you'll find
that when you [C]look inside your [D]heart
Pre-chorus 2:
oh baby, i'll be [Am]there, yeah
[Bb]hold on, i'm [Gm]holding on
baby, just [Eb]come on, come on, come on, i just [D]wanna hear you say
Chorus (same as Chorus 1)
i can't stop lovin' you, and no matter what i say or do
you know my heart is true, oh, i can't stop lovin' you
Bridge:
oh, i'm so [Am]twisted and tied, and [D]all i re[Bm]member[G]
was [Am]how hard we tried, only to sur[D]render
Interlude and Solo:
[Bb]C - [C]C - Bb (3x)
Pre-chor[C]us[-] 3[C]:[-] [G]
[G]and when it's over, i [Em]know how it's gonna be
and true [C]love will never [D]die, no, not [G]fade away
Chorus 3:
and i can't stop [G]lovin' you, and no matter what i [Em]say or do
you know my [C]heart is true, [D]oh, i can't stop [G]lovin' you
and i know what i [Em]got to do
hey, ray, what you [C]said is true, [D]oh, i can't stop [G]lovin' you[Em] [C] [D]
oh, oh, i can't stop [Gsus4]lovin' [G]you[Gsus2] [G]

Also on the verse a second guitarist strums the second fret
on the top E string(thickest), or you can use your thumb
as Eddie does.

This is almost the whole solo. I changed it to Eddie's
live version. So it is a bit easier than the Cd.
It'll do anyways. Good Luck
