Tryin' To Matter
By Toby Keith
Capo 3
D
I'm a lonely guy with a lonely life
D
I got a full-time job and a part-time wife
G D
And the grindstone just goes on and on
D
You're a lonely girl that’s a lonely wife
D
You got a three bedroom and an empty life
G D
And you're not quite sure just where it all went wrong
Bm A
There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away
Bm A
But there's a whole lot ridin' on this love so baby what's ya say
Chorus:
G
Let's give it one good shot
D
Let's really give it all we got
A
We can take it nice and slow
D D7
Baby don't you want to go back
G
Where we had a chance
A
And we danced our dance
D A G
In a world where a heart could never shatter
G
We might go down cryin'
A
But at least our love will die
D
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
We've come a long way so don't forget
Let's don't throw our hands up yet
We've still got time to change our mind
Honey let's give it our best tonight
If we still ain't got it right
We can always, always say goodbye
Somewhere I guess we let go and lost a little ground
One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around
Chorus
We might go down cryin'
At least wour love will die tryin
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
