Tried To Tell You chords by The Weather Station

Intro:
|C  |C  |C  |C  |


Verse 1:
G
 It was getting late
G
 You were afraid of yourself
C
 Afraid that you might call her
C
 That you could not help yourself
G
 And what could I say?
G

 It lived in you all day
C
 I watched her in your eyes, and
 C               Fmaj7
Pass across your face


Chorus:
          G                C
Like the wind on the water
            G
I tried to tell you
Fmaj7         G                    C
 That is the way that you want her
            G       C
I tried to tell you


Verse 2:
C
 You were so afraid to try and pull apart
G
 The endless rain you thought of as your heart
C
 With blood on your hands from the river inside
G                                       Fmaj7
 You try to deny it, you never felt the tide


Chorus 2:
        G                  C
Of the moon pulling closer
            G
I tried to tеll you
Fmaj7         G                    C
 That is the way that you want her
            G
I tried to tеll you


Bridge:
Fmaj7      G
 Like the wind on the water
Am           G               Am
 I will not help you not to feel
             G              Fmaj7
To tell yourself it was not real
                  Em
And only fools believe
Am         G                 Am
 This is what the songs are for
             G                 Fmaj7
This is the dirt beneath the floor
                  G
I cannot sell you on your own need


Verse 3:
C
 But some days there might be nothing you encounter
C
 To stand behind the fragile idea that anything matters
G
 I feel as useless as a tree in a city park
C                                            Fmaj7
 Standing as a symbol of what we have blown apart


Chorus 3:
               G                     C
You know you break what you treasure
            G
I tried to tell you
   Fmaj7     G                C
But I'm not sure you remember
               G
So I tried to tell you
Fmaj7           G                 C
 And though it cannot be measured
            G
I tried to tell you
         Fmaj7          G                     C
Would it kill you to believe in your pleasure?
            G
I tried to tell you
