How Ive Tried Chords & Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

[C]You say that I can be your friend

[G7]Forget my love for [C]you

[C]You say there's nothing left for me

[G7]To find somebody [C]new

[F]You tell me to forget the things

[C]That's in the past and gone

[C]You just as well to tell the sun

[G7]To rise before it's [C]dawn

Cause I can't [G7]forget you [F]oh how I've [C]tried


[C]You take a bird and clip its wings

[G7]And it will fly no [C]more

[C]But you can't make that bird forget

[G7]That it once flew be[C]fore

Like I can't [G7]forget you [F]oh how I've [C]tried


[C]You're gonna wake some morning

[G7]And find your world gone [C]wrong

[C]You're gonna wish for the happiness

[G7]That only we have [C]known

[F]You will be crying

[C]Tears of regret

[C]You're gonna remember the love sweetheart

[G7]You told me to for[C]get

But I didn't [G7]forget you [F]oh how I've [C]tried
