Tom: G
G C/G G Am/G
G C/G G Am/G
[Verse 1]
G C/G G C/G
Here I am standing at your window again
G C/G G C/G
Waiting for you to say go away or come in
G C/G
I'm your locked door's worst knocker
G C/G
I'm your curtain's best friend
[Chorus]
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy babe
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - I'm lookin' for an easy way
[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G
Your friends ask about me, you say I can be found
G C/G G C/G
with the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
G C/G G C/G
Oh the heart has no bones you say so it won't break
G C/G G C/G
but the purpose of lovin' is the pounding it takes
[Chorus]
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy babe
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - I'm lookin' for an easy way
[Solo]
G C/G G Am/G
G C/G G Am/G
[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G
the ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
G C/G G C/G
and though they’re your hair that don't mean I'm not caught
G C/G G C/G
I know the sound of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
G C/G G C/G
but that new thing you've got I've got no clue what it's for
[Chorus]
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy babe
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - I'm lookin' for an easy way
[Solo]
G C/G G Am/G
G C/G G Am/G
[Verse 3]
G C/G G C/G
With fortune's rocks millstones you hang round my throat
G C/G G C/G
and a brick for my window weighted down with a note
G C/G G C/G
Well, I hope you find someone just as hard as you come
G C/G G C/G
in this hard world sadly that's so easily done
[Chorus]
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy babe
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - I'm lookin' for an easy way
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy babe
Am D G C/G G
I'm trying hard to love you - There's gotta be an easy way
