"Tried So Hard"
Fakebook (1990)
D
D
Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
A
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
Em G
'Cause she is moving somewhere far away not slow
D A E
And though I tried so hard to please her
D A G D
She said she really had to go
D
Even though this time it really hurts me bad
A
I've been through similarities it's not the first break I've had
Em G
And I just can't let it bring me down so low
D A E
And though I tried so hard to please her
D A G D
There must be something more to know
Bm
Never thought that we would find our end this way
F#m
It seemed that everything was going fine
Bm
Still with all the things that I can do or say
D E G D
It won't change the fate I know so well is mine
D A Em G D A E D A G D
D
So I'll stop and look right past the pain
A
Because I've been in love before and I can love again
Em G
While she's moving somewhere far away not slow
D A E
And though I tried so hard to please her
D A G D
She said she really had to go
