B              C#m                E
Say I don't look much like a lover
                             B
Doesn't mean that I won't try
                   C#m
Set your world on fire
E
every once in awhile
B  C#m                  E
We lie on the kitchen floor
                                 B                  C#m
Hot air rises and it's going to be hot as hell here soon
E
We are going to need some relief

B                C#m                      E
Sick of leaving thing half done leaving things half said
B                C#m                      E
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said

Chorus:
    B
Ohh
    C#m
I am
       E
I am trying
                   B
the best that I can
     C#m
I am
       E
I am trying

You can keep moving on like you do
The road goes as far as the eye can see
I won't stand in your way, what's the good in that?
And the flowers in their bed
They're drooping and dying and fading away
This weather's no good for growing things

Sick of leaving things half-done, leaving things half-said
Sick of leaving things half-done, leaving things half-said

Chorus

B              C#m                 E
Will you keep moving on like you do

Will you keep moving on
B                C#m                E
So will you keep moving you on like you do

Chorus:
Oh, I am, I am trying
The best that I can
I am, I am trying
The best that I can
I am, I am trying
The best that I can
I am, I am trying
The best that I can
