[Intro]
  C   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
She said GI'm not pointing fingers
D/F#He said yes you are
Cause you Emwouldn't bring it Dup if you Cweren't
If I Gtold you I'd been walking
Out D/F#in the dark night thinking
Would you Emtake as truth this Dalcoholic's Cword
DI can't change what's done is done
DBut I can tell you this
[Chorus 1]
Not a Emday goes by that DI
Don't curse myCself and all my sins
And I Gneed you to hold on to
While this Dpart of me is dying
And though I Emhaven't kicked the Ddemons
That Chaunt me, I'm BmtryCingG  D  
I'm CtryingG  
[Verse 2]
She sat Gdown on the floor
D/F#And said I wish I was stronger
Right now EmI feel fragile as DglassC  
I wanGt to believe you
BelD/F#ieve what's held you has freed you
And I hate Emthese doubts that Dkeep on comiCng back
DMy parent's think I'm crazy
DFor staying here this long
[Chorus 2]
But tEmhere's nothing moDre I want for us
Than to prove Cto them they're wrong
I don'Gt want to be afraid
I don't wanDt to think you're lying
And though I Emhaven't found the fDaith
That CI need, I'm trBmyinCgG  D  
I'm CtryingG  
He Casked do Dyou Cwant Cme Dto Emleave
Cause if you Cdo you kDnow I will
But she Csaid much Dto Chis CdisDbeEmlief
CNooo DI love you still
COoG/Booh I lCove you still
He said GI don't know why I've been the fool
BuD/F#t I can tell you this
[Chorus 3]
Not a Emday goes by that DI
Don't curse myCself and all my sins
Then hGe dropped down to his knees
By now they Dboth were crying
He said I havEmen't been the manD  
I wanCt to be, but IBm'm CtryGingD  
I'm CtryingG  
BmI'm CtryingG  D  
Oh I'm CtryingG
