“I Try” – Macy Gray
Chords by Joan’s Genius 2000
Verse 1:
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here, when will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe, but we’re not
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin'
Chorus:
I try to say goodbye and I choke, I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here
Verse 2:
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin’
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Here is my confession
May I be your possesion
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
E, E
But this I can't deny, deny
(Repeat last 2 lines of either Verse, then Chorus)
