“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
