Key: D

Verse 1:
Dmaj7
You said “hey let’s do something next week”
Bm7
Now you’re on a sun bed somewhere in Greece
 Em7
Man I miss you
          A
Scared to ask if you’re missing me too
Dmaj7
You said “wait maybe let’s take a break”
Bm7
I said “sure babe whatever you say”
        Em7
But I’m lying through my teeth
        A
I can’t love you patiently


Pre-chorus:
Dmaj7
  I know I’ve got my issues too
Bm7
  But I kinda wanna fix them with you
Gmaj7
I think you’re scared of what lies ahead
     Gm N.C.
Just say it don’t fill you with dread

Chorus:
              Dmaj7
I know you’re trying
                 Bm7
But try a little harder
            Em7
Cause we’re here and we’re there like we’re going nowhere
           A
But you’re all I want
               Dmaj7
You say you’re falling
                   Bm7
Well fall a little faster
            Em7
Cause we’re up then we’re down, can we get this off the ground
             A
Cause you’re all I want


Verse 2:
Dmaj7
Feeling like I’m putting in all the effort
Bm7
I’m at your beck and call 24/7
Em7
I come over in a heartbeat
    A
But you’ve never even seen my street
Dmaj7
  You never open up, never get sentimental
Bm7
  For my patience I think I deserve a medal
Em7
  It’s a false start back to the first hurdle
A
  I could go again, but I’m hurting


Pre-chorus:
Dmaj7
  I know I’ve got my issues too
Bm7
  But I kinda wanna fix them with you
Gmaj7
I think you’re scared of what lies ahead
     N.C.
Just say it don’t fill you with dread


Chorus:
              Dmaj7
I know you’re trying
                 Bm7
But try a little harder (Try a little harder)
            Em7
Cause we’re here and we’re there like we’re going nowhere
           A
But you’re all I want
               Dmaj7
You say you’re falling
                   Bm7
Well fall a little faster
            Em7
Cause we’re up then we’re down, can we get this off the ground
             A
Cause you’re all I want


Verse 3:
       Dmaj7               Bm7
If you try, try, try, try, try
                        Em7
I think we could get it right
                         A
I promise I’m worth your time
          Dmaj7               Bm7
So please try, try, try, try, try
                     Em7
I know we can get it right
                             A
Just give me a little bit of time


Outro:
                 Dmaj7
But try a little harder   mmm
             Bm7
Try a little harder
             Em7        A
Try a little harder  mmmmmmm
