The Best That I Can chords by Vance Joy

Chords with lyrics

I recently went to his concert in Vancouver and noticed the simplicity of this song and
thought I'd share

**He puts the capo on the fourth fret, but from the bottom so that the E MajorE string is left open.
They you just play 3 chords for the whole song: G, Am, C majorC
The G+G is the only chord that uses the E MajorE string, for the A minorAm and C majorC you mute the E MajorE string
Then when he was playing the C majorC chord in the verses, he would hammer on and off with his
ring finger
For the Chorus he would hammer on and off with his middle finger.
The chords are nice and simple, its figuring out when to change chords that is the
tricky part,
so just play along with the song and you'll figure it out

Capo on 4TH**

|Verse|
G+G       A minorAm         C majorC
Say I don't look much like a lover
Doesn't mean that I won't try
G+G        A minorAm  C majorC
Set your world on fire, every once in awhile
G+G A minorAm            C majorC
We lie on the kitchen floor
                G+G     A minorAm     C majorC
Hot air rises and it's going to be hot as hell here soon
We are going to need some relief

|Chorus|
G+G        A minorAm           C majorC
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
G+G        A minorAm           C majorC
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said

Ohh
G+G  A minorAm   C majorC
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
G+G  A minorAm   C majorC
I am, I am trying


|Verse|
You can keep moving on like you do
The road goes as far as the eyes can see
I won't stand in your way
What's the good in that
And the flowers in their bed
Their drooping and dying and fading away
This weather's no good for growing things

Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said

Ohh
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can

Will you keep moving on like you do
Will you keep moving on
So will you keep moving you on like you do

Ohh I am
I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
