Try as I may

All in the dar

To hold your c

In my scared,

emonies
         
All on the flo

You were born

Like the Lord

[Chorus]

Try as I may

[Verse 4]

Try as I may
             
I'm still figh

          
ting for you
           
In my sad, sad

hrowing way
             
You were meant

Over my ceremo

nies
          
All from the d

          
ark in my shoe

[Verse 5]

Try as I may
             
To be heard th

            
rough the wall
             
To be seen get

            
ting loud on t

You were born

ll arms
            
Like clean win

[Verse 6]

Try as I may
             
I am bitching 

        
to the wall
             
Of my long-arm

            
ed and knuckle

          
-scraping ways
             
I hadn't saile

      
d 30 feet
             
When I drowned

              
 in expensive 

 
clothes
           
For the oyster

          
s all to see

[Chorus]

Try as I may
              
To love what f

           
its in my hand
       
I don't
        
I don't
