I Promise I'm Trying Tab par Cavetown

[INTRO]: C, G, C, G

[VERSE 1]:

C                                     G
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you

But I can't really find

C
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes

G
And sort them in my mind

C
The negative thoughts go on the left

G
And the happy things on the right

C                                                G
And there's a little corner I saved just for you

Em                                         C
Please let me know if you change your mind cause inside I'm falling and I

G                              D
Need you to pull me out of this decline

Em                                         C
I realize how hard on you this must seem, but trust me when I say

G                        D
It's far, far worse for me.


[CHORUS]:

G                            C
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more, and

Em                                C
I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying

G                                     C
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to, cause I never

Em                                   C
Hated myself more, but this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying

[INTERLUDE]: G, C, G, C

[VERSE 2]:

C                          G
Give me a moment to get my cards in line

Cause I'm still trying to figure out

C                                            G
In what kind of order I should set them out

C                          G
Is there a way to explain everything without a word

C                                                 G
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

Em                                    C     
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes but a part of me wants to let 

G                                            D
you be, cause then you wouldn't see what I've become

Em                                    C
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out

                                      G                       D
It's like we're in a dream state, but I should've woken up by now

[CHORUS]:

G                            C
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more, and

Em                                C
I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying

G                                     C
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to, cause I never

Em                                   C
Hated myself more, but this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
