When Youre Really Trying

C   F   C   F   C

[Verse 1]
Hope is the promise of possibility
 F

                   C         
It's not much of a promise of 
 F                C   F
anything really
                    C    F
Here's what you can do
                G       F
It's outta your hands
               C                   
Step up to the ledge and lean in so
           Am
 proudly


[Chorus]
                    F              
What do you have to say to yourself
    G      F
 anymore
                               G   
'Cause it's never gonna be the 
         F
right time
                             G   
It's never gonna feel like a good 
        F
time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right 
time
            F              G
When you're really trying
            C              G   C
When you're really trying


[Verse 2]
Can you remember when you were young
   F

                   C          
Oh, before all the therapy and

                      C           F
See the ghosts in the graveyards
                   G       F
All your dreams realised
                 C                 
Knowing if you believe it, it can 
         Am
be done


[Chorus]
                    F              
What do you have to say to yourself

'Cause it's never gonna be the

                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right 
time
            F              G
When you're really trying
                C             
Not when you're really trying,

We'll know the truth
             Am           G       
One day your kingdom will crumble 
    F

                     Fm
When they call you a failure
                Ab            G
They call you a fool, yeah-eh-eh
                   F   G

time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right 
time
            F             
When you're really trying, 
G            F
yeah-eh-eh


[Chorus]
                        G          
It's never gonna be the right time
  F

                             G   
It's never gonna feel like a good 
        F
time

No, it's never gonna be the right
