Im Still Trying

Matthew Fowler


Tom: Am

C    Am                   Em                G
  My mind it sings of the memories how they tug and click
C      Am    Em      G
  I lay listening
C         Am                      Em                  G
  I could touch my past, feel the heavy air, hear the branches scratch
C      Am         Em      G
  I lay looking back

[Chorus]
    F                     C              G
I remember when I used to drive right over
     F                      C            G
I remember when you used to pull me closer
      F                C          E                      Am    G
I was traded for a cigarette in a bed you shared with an older friend
    F                      C                 G             C
I remember all the years I yearned for closure, I'm still trying

      Am    Em      G
Ohhhh oohhh ohhhhhh ohhhh
C     Am    Em      G x3
Ohhhh oohhh ohhhhhh ohhhh


[Verse 2]
C   Am                Em                     G
  I wish I knew why I barely called, why I'm short with you
C          Am             Em      G
 I shut my eyes and kid you grew
C        Am                        Em                     G
 So I've learned with time all the bonds we built they'll live or die
C              Am            Em      G
  I've come to carve away my pride

[Chorus]
    F                       C              G
I remember when you used to call me brother
    F                       C                   G
I remebmer when you used to climb on my shoulders
F                              C           E                   Am      G
We would lay out in the sun to dry, have a heart to heart from time to time
    F                       C              G
I remember all the grief we gave our mother

[Bridge]

[Outro]
C     Am    Em      G x4
