I Try Chords

“I Try” – Macy Gray
Chords by Joan’s Genius 2000


Verse 1:
E      B           A
Games, changes and fears
               F#m                          A   B
When will they go from here, when will they stop
               E    B              A
I believe that fate has brought us here
                   F#m                     A   B
And we should be together, babe, but we’re not
E                     B
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
F#m                       A
I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin'


Chorus:
             B             E                    B
I try to say goodbye and I choke, I try to walk away and I stumble
                F#m                          A                     B
Though I try to hide it it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here
B             E                  B
Goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble 
                F#m                           A                         B
Though I try to hide it, it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here


Verse 2:
E       B          A
I may appear to be free
               F#m              A    B
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
           E           B              A
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
                  F#m                  A    B
But my smiles are just a front, just a front
E                     B
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
F#m                       A
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin’


(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
F G          A
  Here is my confession
              Am
May I be your possesion
                Dm
Boy I need your touch
                     Am
Your love kisses and such
                    D
With all my might I try
                 E,    E
But this I can't deny, deny


(Repeat last 2 lines of either Verse, then Chorus)
