If He Tried

C    F  C    F

[Verse 1]
C                          F      C   F
Think it’s finally breaking me down
      C                                F         C       F
To my credit, I feel like I held on as long as I could
  C                F      C     F
I barely recognize myself now
    Am                       F                 C       F
I’d teach my heart to lie if I thought that it would


[Chorus]
G                               F
I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special
G                            F
I don’t need him to hang the stars in the sky
G                      F
Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning
    Am       G     F          C       F  C    F
But wouldn’t it be nice if he tried


[Verse 2]
C                F       C      F
It’s finally tearing me apart
     C                              F           C      F
An impossible mending you can’t see from the outside
    C                  F              C     F
And no one knows where all the pieces are
        Am                F            C     F
"Do you love me?" I say. “Sure” he replied


[Chorus]
G                               F
I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special
G                            F
I don’t need him to hang the stars in the sky
G                      F
Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning
    Am       G     F
But wouldn’t it be nice


[Bridge]
Am       G     F
Wouldn’t it be nice
       C          F                C        F
If his eyes would light up when he spoke my name
        C      F                           Am         F    C    F  C    F
If he’d run to catch me in his arms at the end of the day


[Chorus]
G                               F
I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special
G                            F
I don’t need him to pull the stars from the sky
        G                    F                       Am
Just to string up my name in tiny sparkling lights
G              F
Wouldn’t it be nice
Am       G     F        C
Wouldn’t it be nice
F     C        F  C    F
