[Intro]

F G Bb F

[Verse 1]

F G

You are just a bee-sting

Swollen in my chest

F G

Something must have died for

You to be my best yet

[Verse 2]

F G

A new accomodation

To go out on my own

F G

Civilised the stars that

Only shine alone

[Chorus]

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried

[Verse 3]

F G

Bloated beating heartache

Your face singes mine

F G

Mutual decision

To disconnect the phone-line

[Verse 4]

F G

I reinforce the railway track

Which has sometimes stayed

F G

But I made them too strong

For your wild ways, oh

[Chorus]

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried

F G Bb

I tried, I tried, I tried
