Intro: 
(C) (D) (C) (D)

She said (G) I'm not pointing fingers
(D/F#) He said yes you are
Cause you (Em7) wouldn't bring it (D) up if you (C) weren't
If I (G) told you I'd been walking
Out (D/F#) in the dark night thinking
Would you (Em7) take as truth this (D) alcoholic's (C) word
(D) I can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a (Em7) day goes by that (D) I
Don't curse my(C)self and all my sins
And I (G) need you to hold on to
While this (D) part of me is dying
And though I (Em7) haven't kicked the (D) demons
That (C) haunt me, I'm (Bm) try(C)ing (G) (D)
I'm (C) try(G)ing

She (G) sat down on the floor
And said I (D/F#) wish I was stronger
Right (Em7) now I feel as (D) fragile as (C) glass
I (G) want to believe you
Believe what's (D/F#)held you has freed you
And I (Em7) hate these doubts that (D) keep on coming (C) back
My (D) parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
But there's (Em7) nothing more I (D) want for us
Than to (C) prove to them they're wrong
I don't (G) want to be afraid
I don't (D) want to think you're lying
And though I (Em7) haven't found the (D) faith
That I (C) need, I'm (Bm) try(C)ing (G) (D)
I'm (C) try(G)ing

He (C) asked do (D) you (C) want me (D) to (Em7) leave
Cause if you (C) do you know I (D) will
But she (C) said much (D) to (C) his dis(D)be(Em7)lief
(C) Nooo I (D) love you still

He said I (G) don't know why I've been the fool
But (D/F#) I can tell you this
Not a (Em7) day goes by that (D) I
Don't curse my(C)self and all my sins
Then he (G) dropped down to his knees
By (D) now they both were crying
He said I (Em7) haven't been the (D) man
I want to (C) be, but I'm (Bm) try(C)ing (G) (D)
I'm (C) try(G)ing
I'm (Bm) try(C)ing (G) (D)
Oh I'm (C) try(G)ing
