Intro: Em Bbº F Fm6Verse 1:
Em My heart is heavy like a stone Bbº Hot as hell up in the cold F Fm6 Loneliness is sleeping in my room Em Love is empty on the plate Bbº Nothing left to give or take F Fm6 Waiting for the dawn to break in twoPre-Chorus
Em But the Sun don't dry (Nothing) Bbº And the waterfalls (Keep coming) F Fm6 And tears keep breaking throughEm Bbº At least we'll try (try) F Try to make it Fm6 When you're living right, but it's going wrong Em Bbº We try (try) F Try to make it Fm6 When you feel like you're living on Dead End Road Em Bbº F Fm6 We still try, try, try, tryVerse 2:
Em If I should die before I wake Bbº Would tears wash away mistakes? F Fm6 My troubles should be madе to fade to nothing Em 'Cause I don't want to be thе one Bbº To turn the lights off on love F Fm6 I just wanna be above somethingPre-Chorus
Em But the Sun don't dry (Nothing) Bbº And the waterfalls (Keep coming) F Fm6 And tears keep breaking throughEm Bbº At least we'll try (try) F Try to make it Fm6 When you're living right, but it's going wrong Em Bbº We try (try) F Try to make it Fm6 When you feel like you're living on Dead End Road Em Bbº F Fm6 We still try, try, try, try Em If we just try Bbº If we just try F Fm6 Something, yeah Em At least we'll love Bbº At least we'll love F Something Fm6 When you feel like you're living on Dead End Road Em Bbº You gotta try, baby try, try F Fm6 Em Try, try, try, try, try, try (try, baby)
