I Promise I’m Trying

Tone [C]

I'm not [F]really sure if my words make sense to [C]you but I can't really find

Any [F]other way to form these feelings into cubes [C]...and sort them in my mind

[F]The negative thoughts go on the left [C]...and the happy things on the right

[F]And there's a little corner saved just for [C]you

 

[Am]Please let me know if you change your mind [F]cause inside I'm falling

And I [C]need you to pull me out of this de[G]cline

[Am]I realize how hard on you this must [F]seem but trust me

When I say [C]its far, far worse for [G]me

 

[C]Please, please be here for me dear [F]Cause I've never needed a friend more

And I can't [Am]stress enough how much it [F]means to me that you're trying

And [C]I don't mind if you can't hold me like [F]you used to

cause I've never [Am]hated myself more

But this is just a bump [F]in the road and I promise I'm trying

 

[F]Give me a moment to get my cards in line [C]Cause I'm still trying to figure out

[F]In what kind of order I should set them out [C]

[F]If there was a way to explain every[C]thing without a word

[F]I'd have a full house right now without a [C]doubt

 

[Am]I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes [F]But a part of me wants to let you [C]be

Cause then you wouldn't see what I've bec[G]ome

[Am]I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out [F]It's like we're in a dream state

But I should've woken [C]up, woken up by now [G]

 

[C]Please, please be here for me dear [F]Cause I've never needed a friend more

And I can't [Am]stress enough how much it [F]means to me that you're trying

And [C]I don't mind if you can't hold me like [F]you used to

cause I've never [Am]hated myself more

But this is just a bump [F]in the road and I promise I'm trying
