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