Tryin'
© 2010 Jon Peterson. All Rights Reserved.

C - D You tell me you love me,
And I believe you with all my might.
I guess it's beyond me,
Why you must talk to him tonight.
Bm - A - D - /C# I know things are different - they're changing all the time,
Bm - A - Bm - A Baby, I'm liking what I see.
Bm - A - D - /C# But sometimes I . . ., well I start to wondering,
Bm - A - G - A If you will still be there for me.

G - D {Chorus-} Can't you see that I'm trying,
" I want to keep you from crying,
" But crying is what you need.
" I can't keep you from flying,
G - D - Bm - A - But I'll keep on trying, 'cause trying is all that I need.

C - D I see things a'happening,
That I cannot say, or understand.
I was always the solution,
But now you've found another hand.
I understand the different needs that you have,
I cannot fulfill every one.
I understand the different ways that you feel,
But tell me what makes your heart run.

{Chorus-}
G - D - Bm - A - . . . But I'll keep on trying, and trying is loves very seed.

D - /C# - Bm - A [seeds we have grown], but there's so much more to grow,
D - /C# - Bm - A [I should have known], there's so much more to know,
Bm - A - G - /F# My love is not alone - you give it company.
Em - D - C - /B - Asus - A You are the very seed, and you're planted in my soul.

G - D Can't you see that I'm crying,
I want to keep you from flying,
But flying is what you need.
I can't keep you from flying,
G - D - Bm - A But I'll keep on trying, 'cause trying is all that I need.
||: D - /C# - Bm - A :|| Trying is all I believe. (-that I need.) {Ad-lib vocals}
