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.

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.

This might be our last dance.

We put it to bed before we could start, it wasn’t for lack of trying.
