G                                   C 
From the very first hello until the very last goodbye 

D7                                G       D7 
From here to there and everything between 

    G                             C 
All I ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied 

        D7                              G 
And all you ever did was make a fool of me 


        D7                           G 
I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had 

        A7                              D7 
And all I ever did was try to treat you right 

          G                              C 
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you 

           D7                                   G 
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried 


                                           C 
My old friends they tried to warn me but I paid them all no mind 

     D7                                   G   D7 
When I see them now we don't have much to say 

    G                                     C 
For you took everything I had and left me nothing but behind 

        D7                            G 
Feeling like some old forgotten yesterday 


        D7                           G 
I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had 

        A7                              D7 
And all I ever did was try to treat you right 

          G                              C 
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you 

           D7                                   G 
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried 


           D7                                   G 
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried
