[Em] [C] [D] I have [G] tried [Em] and tried [G] everything I know [D] how
I [G] have died [Em] and died because of bad [A] finale results [D] I couldn't allow
I [G] have cried [Em] and cried on [G] easy days and sweet was [D] nice too
But there's nothing I [E] can do [A] but wait for you
[D]
There are [G] other girls [Em] I'm sure but not for [A] me
So far other girls [Em] are around but [A] I never tried to score

[D] [G] How must [D] it take so [G] long?
[Em] [G] I can only try in these [D] unsure times to be [G] strong
Until [C] I can know something [D] further of you that [G] I belong

I [A] can't plant any [Em] more plants
[A] I can't light any more [D] fires for your pain
I [G] can't lay any more [E] traps
My [G] hands are trapped I've already played [D] with all bait
