Intro
(Play these chords by plucking the E or A string,
followed by the two or three thinner strings, anyway
listen to the song to get this right, it's pretty easy.)
Verse
This morning I woke up fucking hating
this whole damn town and the sight of your house
Rigged up with insulin all flowing
I left without a sound
Just like I said I expect no apologies I've had a grip on our longevity
But I'm losing count as you add up doubts and challenge all that's said
I walked and walked and finally found it
When comfort's strong interest wears
No I ain't snapped no I ain't broken
I just don't think I care
I drew no response when asked if I come second best so I won't waste my time
on thoughts of loneliness
It'll be alright there's more to life than counting every end
Chorus
Oh my god I tried
I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
But leaving now ain't got a thing to do with pride
Bridge
You know you can't pretend when feelings end unless truth becomes denial
x2
It's senseless to stay for convenience sake and time
Chorus
Oh my god I tried
How I tried
How I tried
Oh I tried
But leaving now ain't got a thing to do with pride
