I'm Tryin - Trace AdkinsIntro |Ab|Dbm|Ab|Dbm|/|Ab|Dbm|Ab|Dbm|Ab-
1. Strophe
This getting up early, pulling double shifts,
Dbm
gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich,
Ab
but I'm trying.
It's been two years since we've finalized,
Dbm
I still ain't used to putting 'ex' in front of wife,
Ab
but I'm trying.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say
Db Eb
when she calls these days, and don't you be late.
1. Refrain
Ab Dbm Ab Dbm
But all I can do is all I can do, and I keep on trying.
Ab Dbm Ab Dbm
And all I can be is all I can be, and I keep on trying.
Eb Fm
But there's always a mountain in front of me,
Db Gb Db
seems I'm always climbing and falling and climbing,
Ab Dbm
but I keep on trying.
2. Strophe
Ab
I remember daddy saying keep your eye on the ball,
Gb Db Ab
run like hell, but play to win, get up when you fall, I'm trying.
Don't say nothing that you can't take back,
Gb Db
never do anything you might regret, no don't do that,
Ab
daddy I'm trying.
Know the difference between heaven and hell,
Db
go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself,
Gb
and I know he meant well.
