INTRO: G   D   Em7   C   G

                  D/F#     Em7
I blew out all my plans
                     C       G
The world fell in my hands
                 D/F#
The day that I began
          C          G
Trying to love you


                   D/F#    Em7
The secrets I have kept
                     C       G
The nights I haven't slept
                        D/F#
I've laughed until I've wept
          C          G  Am7
Trying to love you


CHORUS 1:
G         Am7
Trying to love you

No one's come as close or gone so far
G         C
Trying to love you

Lost and found myself in who you are
G         Am7     
Trying to love you
   G           D 
So easy and so hard 
   G                   D/F#  G
Trying to love you


                      D/F#      Em7
I've watched myself get stuck
                  C      G
Squandered all my luck
                 D/F#
I've almost given up
          C          G  Am7
Trying to love you


CHORUS 2:
G         Am7
Trying to love you

It broke my heart, it's chipped away my pride
G         C
Trying to love you

Every time I'd see that fault-line slide
G         Am7     
Trying to love you
 G                 D 
Across the great divide 
   G                  
Trying to love you


INSTRUMENTAL: G    D/F#  G   D/F#   Em7   C   G   D/F#   C  G


CHORUS 3:
G         Am7
Trying to love you

I've screamed your name, I've slammed a thousand doors
G         C
Trying to love you

I've worn a million miles across the floor
G         Am7     
Trying to love you
                    D 
Still I could not ignore 
   G                  C  G  D/F#  G
Trying to love you



                     D/F#      Em7
It's pulled the best from me
                     C     G
For all the world to see
                    D/F#
I guess I'll always be
          C               G
Trying to love you
