If Youd Only Try

Gm  F     Bb          Eb
You don't answer your phone
             Gm    F  Bb              Eb
And I'd go 'round, but you're never home
                      Gm F Bb
I've been trying to reach ya
                           Eb
Though I've got nothing to teach ya
  Gm    F     Bb          Eb
I can't leave you on your own

[Verse 2]
     Gm   F    Bb               Eb
It's been some months since the breakup
    Gm     F    Bb           Eb
And you've been stuck in the dark
                   Gm F Bb
Then we have a new lover
                  Eb
Another person to smother
       Gm F  Bb           Eb
Don't let it tear you apart

[Pre-Chorus}
     Eb   Gm                     Dm   F
Your words might get lost in the thunder and rain
                    Ebadd9
Wish you could just say

[Chorus]
             F            Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
                    Eb        Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
                  F        Gm
You could make it out alive
                  Eb      Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
      Gm                        Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
  Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
                 F       Gm
In the game that we call life
                  Eb   Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try

[Verse 2]

Gm   F   Bb        Eb
When did we get so old?
          Gm   F   Bb          Eb
How could you wish you were younger?
                   Gm F Bb
The lives will go deeper
                    Eb
We struggle to heal ya
    Gm   F  Bb           Eb
But it's no reason to be colder

[Pre-Chorus}
     Eb  Gm                     Dm  F
The love that I have for you might not explain
                    Ebadd9
The things that I wanna say


[Chorus]
             F            Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
                    Eb        Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
                  F        Gm
You could make it out alive
                  Eb      Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
      Gm                        Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
  Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
                 F       Gm
In the game that we call life
                  Eb   Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try

[Bridge]

Dm Dm Eb
        And all that time, I gave it back to you
F F Gm                                      Eb Eb Bb      Eb      Bb
        Help me to swim in your gaze so blue,        your gaze so blue

[Chorus]
             F            Gm
That I could swim in your eyes
                    Eb        Bb
And I can tread the tears you cry
                  F        Gm
You could make it out alive
                  Eb      Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
      Gm                        Dm
Don't slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head
  Eb
I don't want you to lose your place
                 F       Gm
In the game that we call life
                  Eb   Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
                  Eb   Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
                  Eb   Bb
Darlin', if you'd only try
