(G)I guess I've tried about everything
From (C)drinking to hiding my wedding ring
I've (G)gambled and I've cheated, walked on a friend or (D)two (D7)
Well I've (G)lived like a fool, just plain (G7)tired
I (C)feel all dirty, all rotten inside
Oh (G)Lord I've tried (D)everything but (G)you

(G)Oh Lord I've tried everything but (C)you, everything but you
Now they (G)tell me you're the man I've got to go (D)through (D7)
Well (G)cleanse my soul and (G7)ease my mind
(C)Help me Lord while there's still time
Oh (G)Lord I've tried (D)everything but (G)you

(G)Well I almost came your way one time
When I (C)lost my family, and part of my mind
But the (G)devil's neon lights came shinin' (D)through (D7)
Well I (G)followed them right back (G7)where I'd been
(C)Doin' the same things over again
Now (G)Lord I've tried (D)everything but (G)you

(G)Oh Lord I've tried everything but (C)you, everything but you
Now they (G)tell me you're the man I've got to go (D)through (D7)
Well (G)cleanse my soul and (G7)ease my mind
(C)Help me Lord while there's still time
Oh (G)Lord I've tried (D)everything but (G)you
