G C G
[verse 1]
G
Why don't we even try anymore
C
It's like using that old key in the door

If it won't open right at first
C
You got to wiggle it till it works
D G
But we don't even try anymore
[verse 2]
G
You know I went out fishing yesterday
C
Seemed like everything I hooked just got away
G
Though them fish are like my life
C
They swam away just like my wife
D G
But we don't even try anymore
[Chorus]
Em A
We planned a suite forever
C D
I thought our golden rings would make it shine
A C
But after seven years together
D C Em
Neither of us seems to have the time
[Instrumental]

Our time for crazy love now has gone

We sit home and watch the TV all night long

I see them kissing on the set
C
Thinking we ain't tried that one yet
D G
But we don't even try anymore
[Chorus]
Em A
We planned a suite forever

But after seven years together

Neither of us seems to have the time
