C                  D                       C
If you were a melody, I'd sing you all the time
                         D                         C
And if your hands were poetry, I'd memorize every line
                       G                               C
And if every look you gave me were a different hue or shade of color
                       D
I'd learn how to paint you

Chorus: 
             C
You know I'd try 
              G
You know I'd try       

(repeat)

Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
If you were words in a story, you'd be in a book that's overdue
somewhere hidden in my closet, I've looked a million times for you
and if you were just one day, you'd be the very first of May
                             G
And I'd be sunlight in your skies

Chorus 2:
                 C
Or at least I'd try
             G
You know I'd try
               C
You know I'd try
             G
You know I'd try

Bridge:
C
What are the words all the words that you're saying
Em
I wish I knew all the prayers that you're praying
C                                       G            D
Everywhere you go I wish that I could stand next to you
(Repeat)

Chorus 3/End:
         C  G
Well I'd try
          C  G
Well I'd try
C
You know I'd try
G
Try
             C
You know I'd try

              G
You know I'd try
