Verse 1:
G+G
 It was getting late
G+G
 You were afraid of yourself
C majorC
 Afraid that you might call her
C majorC
 That you could not help yourself
G+G
 And what could I say?
G+G
 It lived in you all day
C majorC
 I watched her in your eyes, and
 C majorC        Fmaj7Fmaj7
Pass across your face

Chorus:
     G+G        C majorC
Like the wind on the water
      G+G
I tried to tell you
Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G          C majorC
 That is the way that you want her
      G+G    C majorC
I tried to tell you


Verse 2:
C majorC
 You were so afraid to try and pull apart
G+G
 The endless rain you thought of as your heart
C majorC
 With blood on your hands from the river inside
G+G                    Fmaj7Fmaj7
 You try to deny it, you never felt the tide


Chorus 2:
    G+G         C majorC
Of the moon pulling closer
      G+G
I tried to tеll you
Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G          C majorC
 That is the way that you want her
      G+G
I tried to tеll you

Bridge:
Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G
 Like the wind on the water
A minorAm      G+G        A minorAm
 I will not help you not to feel
       G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
To tell yourself it was not real
         E minorEm
And only fools believe
A minorAm     G+G         A minorAm
 This is what the songs are for
       G+G         Fmaj7Fmaj7
This is the dirt beneath the floor
         G+G
I cannot sell you on your own need


Verse 3:
C majorC
 But some days there might be nothing you encounter
C majorC
 To stand behind the fragile idea that anything matters
G+G
 I feel as useless as a tree in a city park
C majorC                      Fmaj7Fmaj7
 Standing as a symbol of what we have blown apart


Chorus 3:
        G+G           C majorC
You know you break what you treasure
      G+G
I tried to tell you
  Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G        C majorC
But I'm not sure you remember
        G+G
So I tried to tell you
Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G         C majorC
 And though it cannot be measured
      G+G
I tried to tell you
     Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G           C majorC
Would it kill you to believe in your pleasure?
      G+G
I tried to tell you
