I Can Always Say I Tried

E A E A

[Verse 1]
E                                 A                                  E    A
Be it near or be it farther every beat was getting stronger without you
E                            A                                  E
Be a loser or a cheat commemorate the flaws repeat them at your peril

[Pre-chorus]
    C#m    A              B A
And ooh it hurts too long
    C#m     A                                     E
And ooh the earth may never notice and why should she

[Chorus]
        A                      E
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
     A             E
Open water dusk to dawn
            A              E
If it kills us, then so be it
            F#               A
I won't be hangin' on, and I
                 E     A E A
Can always say I tried

[Verse 2]
E                                             A                              E
Be you daughters be you songs we'll give you all of what we are for good or worse
E                           A                         E
Be it godly referendum or a weakly uttered whisper we will
                           A              B
Pick up our pieces we will finish what we can

    C#m    A              B A
And ooh it hurts too long
    C#m     A                                     E
And ooh the earth may never notice and why should she

        A                      E
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
     A             E
Open water dusk to dawn
            A              E
If it kills us, then so be it
            F#               A
I won't be hangin' on, and I
                 E
Can always say I tried

N.C.
Tell the angels mind their business

They aren't reaping what I've sewn

Beat me down destroy my army

Break me up then make me whole

A                             E
Does it hurt you like it hurts me?
        A         E
Does it hurt you?
