Tryin' To Matter
By Toby Keith
Capo 3
I'm a Dlonely guy with a lonely life
I got a Dfull-time job and a part-time wife
And the Ggrindstone just goes Don and on
You're a Dlonely girl that’s a lonely wife
You got a Dthree bedroom and an empty life
And you're Gnot quite sure just where it Dall went wrong
There are Bmlots of reasons why we should Aturn and walk away
But there's a Bmwhole lot ridin' on this love so Ababy what's ya say
Chorus:
Let's give it Gone good shot
Let's really give it Dall we got
We can take it Anice and slow
Baby Ddon't you want to D7go back
Where we Ghad a chance
And we Adanced our dance
In a Dworld where a Aheart could never Gshatter
We might Ggo down cryin'
But at Aleast our love will die
Tryin' to Dmatter, tryin' to matter
We've come a long way so don't forget
Let's don't throw our hands up yet
We've still got time to change our mind
Honey let's give it our best tonight
If we still ain't got it right
We can always, always say goodbye
Somewhere I guess we let go and lost a little ground
One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around
Chorus
We might go down cryin'
At least wour love will die tryin 
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter

You're a lonely girl that’s a lonely wife

You got a three bedroom and an empty life

G D

And you're not quite sure just where it all went wrong

There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away

We've still got time to change our mind

Honey let's give it our best tonight

If we still ain't got it right

We can always, always say goodbye

Somewhere I guess we let go and lost a little ground

One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around

Chorus

We might go down cryin'

At least wour love will die tryin

Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
