Trying To Write A Song

Intro
G  D  Em  C 


[Verso 1]


          G 
I've been trying to write a song 
    D                  G 
And it ain't goin' well 
      C               G 
Every line I think is right 
            D 
Sounds like I'm living in hell 
      Em 
Every rhyme, every reason 
      C 
Every note, it all feels wrong 
          G 
I've been trying 
D                 G 
Trying to write a song 


[Verso 2]


G 
There's nothing left inside 
        D                  G 
Nothing clever, nothing cool 
  C               G 
I try and make it up 
  D 
I try and bend the rules 
        Em 
But I'm blinded by the years 
      C 
Spent looking for the light 
            G 
But there's no refrain 
    D                 G     D 
And there's no end in sight 



        Em 
And the hardest part's believing 
      Bm 
Every word I'm reading 
        C                     G    D 
Written right before my lying eyes 
        Em 
And the truth is I'm dying 
       Bm 
And my heart is tired of fighting 
       Am                            D 
And it took me writing it down to realize 


[Verso 3]

 
               G 
That I've been trying to write a song 
          D                  G 
Something bold and something real 
              C              G 
But there's a shit pile of denial 
       D 
In the way of how I feel 
      Em 
Every rhyme, every reason 
      C 
Every note, it all feels wrong 
          G 
I've been trying 
D                Em C 
Trying to write a song 
          G 
I've been trying 
D                 G 
Trying to write a song
