F             Am              G
She said: hope is not a plan but better than
           F             Am              G
not trying it, we let it go.
        F                 Am               G
Feeling bold but breaking down and leaving town
        F             Am               G
denying it, we let it go.

[Pre-Chorus]
            F
Well, I was looking in the mirror but the mirror was broke
            Am                         G
and then I started second-guessing my existence.
            F
And now I’m always asking questions but the one thing I know
    Am    ( G )
is: I want you.

[Chorus]
         C                F                    Am      G          F
Outta my head and into my heart, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
             C                F                    Am      G
Get outta my head and into my heart, it wasn’t for lack of trying.

[Interlude]
F         F         Am         G
F         F         Am         G

[Verse 2]
        F            Am                 G
In your eyes I see regrets, retrace the steps,
             F                Am              G
pretend it's fine, time after time.

[Pre-Chorus]
               F
Yeah, well, we started in the gutter of the city of gold
            Am                         G
and we were chasing every inch of satisfaction.
                F
You know you’ll never find a sign if you just do what you're told,
    Am    ( G )
and I want you.

[Chorus]
         C                F                    Am      G          F
Outta my head and into my heart, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
             C                F                    Am      G
Get outta my head and into my heart, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
              Am      G
It wasn’t for lack of trying.

[Interlude]
F         F         Am         G
F         F         Am         G
F

[Bridge]
                               C
I’m tired of sink or swimming,   can’t feel 'cause I keep thinking.
Am                G              F
This might be our last dance.

[End-Chorus]
             C                F                    Am      G          F
Get outta my head and into my heart, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
             C                   F                    Am      G       F
We put it to bed before we could start, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
              Am      G        F
It wasn’t for lack of trying.
              Am      G        F
It wasn’t for lack of trying.
