[VERSE]
G
My best friend's obsessive, and manic depressive
Em D C
And she makes lots of mistakes, but never learns any lessons
G
And she cried on my shoulder the last time we were together
Em G C
And said I just don't know how to make anything better
[BRIDGE]
Em D C G (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said I know that it's tempting to regress on your goals
Em D C C
In the medicine section of Essendon Coles, but
[CHORUS]
G
Just try
Am
Just try
[VERSE 2]
G
Your boyfriend’s abhorrent,
Em D C
But you still adore him.
G Em G C
Yeah, he treats like you like shit, but you’d still do anything for him.
G
And I said “I made my r-pist,
Em D C
A Spotify playlist,
G Em G C
When I turned 18, as my own little birthday gift”.
[BRIDGE 2]
Em D C G (D/F# as a passing chord)
And she said Jesus; I can’t believe the way that they treat us,
Em D C C
I wish they’d all take the time to walk a mile in my Adidas.
[CHORUS 2]
G
Just try
Am
Just try
[POSTCHORUS](SAME CHORDS AS BRIDGE)
Em D C G (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said, as long as you’re trying, that’s fine by me.
Em D C C
I’m just trying to save you from poison, Ivy.
[VERSE 3]
G
I know that I’m changing,
Em D C
And it might seem strange,
G Em G C
And yeah, I understand if you don’t want to call me my name.
G Em D C
Yeah, it makes me upset, but I try not to let it get to me,
G Em G C
I’ve adjusted to the fact you’ll probably never call me Ruby.
[MIDDLE 8 / GUITAR SOLO OVER SAME CHORDS]
Am
And, that’s fine.
D
That's fine
Am
That's fine,
D
That's fine.
[CHORUS 3]
G
Just try
Am
Just try
[POSTCHORUS](SAME CHORDS AS BRIDGE)
Em D C G (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said, as long as you’re trying, that’s fine by me.
Em D C C
I’m just trying to save you from poison, Ivy.
