[Verse 1]
G Bm Am Bm
I thought you wouldn't love me if I didn't do everything right
G Bm Am Bm
So I lied to tell the truth and hid myself most of all from you
Em Bm Am Am7
Good was never perfect, perfect never could be good enough for me
[Chorus]
G Bm
But I tried and I failed
Am G
And you loved me
G Bm
Oh, I tried and I failed
Am G
And you loved me
[Verse 2]
G Bm Am Bm
I had all the answers; that was easier than facing the dark
G Bm Am Bm
And I sold my story until the story started falling apart
Em Bm Am
Every secret spoken, out there in the open
Am7
I've pretended not to see
[Chorus]
G Bm
And I tried and I failed
Am G
And you loved me

And I tried and I failed
Am G
And you loved me

When I try and I fail
Am G
And you love me

And you love me
