G C/G G C/G
here i Am standing at your window again
G C/G G C/G
waiting for you to say go away or come in
G C/G
i’m your locked door’s worst knocker
G C/G
i’m your curtain’s best friend

Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy babe
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – i’m looking for an easy way

G C/G G C/G
your friends ask about me you say i can be found
G C/G G C/G
with the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
G C/G G C/G
oh the heart has no bones you say so it won’t break
G C/G G C/G
but the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes

Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy babe
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – i’m looking for an easy way

G C/G G C/G
the ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
G C/G G C/G
and though theyre your hair that don’t mean i’m not caught
G C/G G C/G
i know the sound of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
G C/G G C/G
but that new thing you’ve got i’ve got no clue what it’s for

Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy babe
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – i’m looking for an easy way

G C/G G C/G
with fortune’s rocks millstones you hang round my throat
G C/G G C/G
and a brick for my window weighted down with a note
G C/G G C/G
well i hope you find someone just as hard as you come
G C/G G C/G
in this hard world sadly that’s so easily done

Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy babe
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – i’m looking for an easy way
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy babe
Am D G – C/G – G
i’m trying hard to love you – there’s gotta be an easy way
