Intro G Bm Am Bm 

verse 1 
G                              Bm              Am            Bm 
 I thought you wouldn't love me if I didn't do everything right 
G                          Bm               Am                 Bm 
 So I lied to tell the truth and hid myself most of all from you 
Em                      Bm                       Am              Am7 
  Good was never perfect, perfect never could be good enough for me 
 
      G          Bm 
But I tried and I failed 
      Am       G 
And you loved me 
      G          Bm 
Oh, I tried and I failed 
       Am    G 
And you loved me 

verse 2 
G                      Bm                    Am         Bm 
 I had all the answers; that was easier than facing the dark 
G                   Bm                       Am        Bm 
 And I sold my story until the story started falling apart 
Em                   Bm                     Am 
  Every secret spoken, out there in the open 
                      Am7 
I've pretended not to see 
 
      G          Bm 
And I tried and I failed 
       Am      G 
And you loved me 
      G          Bm 
And I tried and I failed 
       Am     G 
And you loved me 

Bridge 
Bm                             Em                  C 
  I may never understand why I walked so far away 
Bm                               C 
  I may never understand what it is that makes you stay 

        G         Bm 
When I try, when I fail 
       Am     G 
And you love me 
       G        Bm 
When I try and I fail 
       Am     G 
And you love me 
      G        Bm 
And I try and I fail 
       Am     G 
And you love me 
      G        Bm 
And I try and I fail 
       Am    G 
And you love me
