I Tried

          G            C            D 
There's a house by the beach with a dog 
        Em 
 On the sheets 
          C        D      Em 
Where the sunshine always shines 
          G            C 
There’s a ring on your hand and I’m 
D            Em 
Still in the band 
      C        D     G 
And I hold you every night 
 

      C       G 
But I lied, I lied 
  C      D        Em 
I wasted all your time 
       G       C            D     Em 
Made a promise that I could never keep 
      C        D     G 
But I swear to God I tried 

 

G       C            D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
        C        D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
G       C            D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
        C        D        G 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 



        G           C             D 
With my feet on the ground and my head 
        Em 
 In the clouds 
  C      D       Em 
I hope I find my way 
         G             C 
Yeah, my heart's still yours, but my 
D            Em 
Dream is the world 
       C     D          G 
So for now I just can't stay 
 

         C         G 
But I'll try, I'll try 
        C       D      Em 
I won't sleep a single night 
          G        C 
So when I see this through, I'll come 
D        Em 
Back for you 
C         D        G 
I'll come back for you 
 

G       C            D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
        C        D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
G       C            D        Em 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
        C        D        G 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
 

        G          C          D 
When my limbs grow old and my heart 
     Em 
Goes cold 
         C      D       Em 
And they lay me down to rest 
        G       C             D 
I won't toss or turn, I won't let it 
Em 
Burn 
            C      D        G 
'Cause I'll know I tried my best 


      C       G 
But I pray, I pray 
            C       D      Em 
You'll come back to me one day 
        G    C            D 
Gave up everything for my hopes and 
Em 
Dreams 
      C      D        G 
Now I wish I would've stayed
