[D] What's the use to deny we've been [G] living a [D] lie
|
That we should have admitted be[A]fore
|
We were [D] just victims of a [G] half-hearted [D] love
|
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
|
|
The vows that we make are [G] only to [D] break
|
We drift like a wave from the [A] shore
|
The [D] kisses we steal we [G] know are not [D] real
|
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
|
|
The dreams that we knew can [G] never come [D] true
|
They're gone to return no [A] more
|
[D] False love like ours [G] fades with the [D] flowers
|
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
|
|
Our story's so old a[G]gain has been [D] told
|
On the past let's close the [A] door
|
And [D] smile don't regret but [G] live and [D] forget
|
There's no use to [A] try any[D]more
|

WHY SHOULD WE TRY ANYMORE
