I Tried

[Intro: Soft analog synth pad, pulsing bass, light kick, distant guitar]
G–D–Em–C

[Verse 1: Pads warm, bass pulse, vocal reflective]
G             D
You said forever like a weather forecast
Em            C
Sunny with a chance of you changing your mind
G             D
I held the umbrella through every downpour
Em             C
You just watched the clouds roll by

[Pre-Chorus: Synth swell, drums building]
Em            C
I kept fixing cracks in the ceiling
G             D
While you were opening doors
Em            C
Funny how love can feel honest
G             D
Right before it feels like a chore

[Chorus: Heavy synth hook, drums full, vocal strong]
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
Stayed up fighting for the sunrise
G            D
You lied, you lied
Em           C
But I believed it every time
G            D
I held the line
Em           C
While you kept slipping through
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
Guess that’s more than you

[Verse 2: Bass groove stronger, synth arpeggio]
G            D
Your jacket still hangs in my hallway
Em           C
Like it forgot you were leaving
G            D
I almost texted you yesterday
Em           C
But silence felt more revealing

[Pre-Chorus: Pads swell again]
Em           C
I thought love meant staying longer
G            D
Even when the room felt cold
Em           C
But strength sometimes looks like walking
G            D
Before the story gets old

[Chorus: Full synth hook returns]
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
Stayed up fighting for the sunrise
G            D
You lied, you lied
Em           C
But I believed it every time
G            D
I held the line
Em           C
While you kept slipping through
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
Guess that’s more than you

[Bridge: Synths atmospheric, drums drop then build]
Em           C
Maybe someday when the music fades
G            D
You’ll hear the echo of my name
Em           C
And wonder why the quiet hurts
G            D
When you were the one who walked away

[Final Chorus: Big synths, drums energetic]
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
Gave you every softer side
G            D
You lied, you lied
Em           C
Now the truth is louder tonight
G            D
I’m moving on
Em           C
And leaving you behind
G            D
I tried, I tried
Em           C
But this time I’m fine

[Outro: Synth pad fading, bass soft]
G–D–Em–C
