Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
I walk the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting
Bridge
It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault
Chorus
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
Verse 2
Its been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting
You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces
Bridge
It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault
Chorus
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
Break
I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you
I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you
HALF CHORUS:(softer strumming)
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
tried to be everything but you
Chorus
(back to regular strumming)
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
Chorus
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
