You Can't Say We Didn't Try.

D G
Just because we're scared, doesn't mean we're wrong,
A G D
The world won't end today, if both of us move on,
D G6
But didn't we have a time? You can't take that away,
G A G D
We've had a change of mind, I think it's safe to say.
D G
That I've been holding on to you,
G D
And you've been holding on to me,
D A
Cause neither of us wants to be,
G D
The first to say goodbye.
D G
And so it goes, we must admit,
G D
How we both thought that this was it,
D A
Though we couldn't make the pieces fit,
G D
You can't say we didn't try.
Break: D A7 G A D
D
Close the window, pull the shade,
D G
Turn the key and lock the door,
G A
We'd best forget the plans we made,
A G D
We don't live here anymore.
D
Maybe somewhere down the line,
D G
We'll remember who we were,
G A
Another place, another time,
G D
Some old feeling starts to stir.
D G
That I've been holding on to you,
G D
And you've been holding on to me,
D A
Cause neither of us wants to be,
G D
The first to say goodbye.
G
And so it goes we've grown apart,
G D
Guess you could say we lost a heart,
D A
And even though we came up short,
G D
You can't say we didn't try.
