          D
I'm just arriving in the city
             G              D
And there's music on my mind
         D
Looking for my destination and
    G             D
My home is far behind

              G          D
Cause it's a long road ahead
             G             D
And you can make it in the end
                  G                D
And I'm going to make it with my friends
          C   A#
And I'm trying

It took me sometime to see it
Now I'm looking through this world
And it's going to take some time before
I get back, help me girl

Cause you can make it if you try
You got to lay it on the line
And everything will be fine if you try

Sitting smoking just a thinking
Is an easy thing to do
We got to keep on trying for
The feeling to come through

And it's a lonely way to live
You got to take it, you got to give
If you mistake it, just try again
And I'm trying, yeah!

D
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying.
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying.
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying.
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying.

We got to keep on trying.
We got to keep on trying.
We got to keep on trying.
