The Good Lord Knows I Tried

G                                   C
From the very first hello until the very last goodbye

D7                                G       D7
From here to there and everything between

    G                             C
All I ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied

        D7                              G
And all you ever did was make a fool of me


        D7                           G
I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had

        A7                              D7
And all I ever did was try to treat you right

          G                              C
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you

           D7                                   G
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried


                                           C
My old friends they tried to warn me but I paid them all no mind

     D7                                   G   D7
When I see them now we don't have much to say

    G                                     C
For you took everything I had and left me nothing but behind

        D7                            G
Feeling like some old forgotten yesterday


        D7                           G
I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had

        A7                              D7
And all I ever did was try to treat you right

          G                              C
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you

           D7                                   G
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried


           D7                                   G
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows I tried
