[Intro] F7M  G  F7M  G

C                        G
  Heaven knows I've tried, but nothing will give way at all
 F                           G
I always see your face at the start of every day
C                                G
You always set the rhythm   that makes my body ache
       F                 G                           C
Like mortar from a wall it's just your back you break

[Estribillo]

                 Bb                 F       C
Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better
                 Bb                     F         G  C
Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more
                Bb         C7  F       C
How much will it take to stay together
                  Bb                     F    G6
Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart
               F7M   G
Right from the start 

 C                         G
You always broke the border, it was always there to break
   F                         G                  C7M
I gave you all my loving, as much as you could take
                            C                   G
But still there's something missing, it's gone missing deep inside
    F                             G6           G                C
My words don't compensate at all, for the all the nights we died

Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart

Right from the start

   G
A love you can't have, a love you can't face
                      C                       F
A love you broke once, a love you broke twice

What seemed like love, felt like pain

Everywhere you moved, it's gonna to be the same
                 G
Blame it on people, blame it on the cards
               C
Whichever you do, It's going to the stars
