[Verse]
C* G* F* Em*
I tried letting you back in

I tried a second chance
C* G* F* Em*
I tried forgetting your past

I tried never looking back
C* G F* Fm* Em Dm Dm C
I tried
[Chorus]
Eb Gm
What if I stopped trying
Eb Gm
What if I just looked away
Eb Gm
What if I stopped trying
Eb Gm
Turned my back and ran away
Gm
Ran away
[Bridge]
F
And oh
Gm F
And I can’t deny the way you make me feel
Gm Eb
And when talk I know It’s something real
F
When I see your face
Gm Eb
I can’t erase the memories that fill my head
F Gm
And I can’t deny but I’ll try
[Pre-chorus] (The chords are played very short and staccato)
Gm
What if what if,I just stopped attempting
F
Just let it all go and try to to be your friend and
Gm
Never looked back on what ,we ,once
Eb
had
Gm
So I’ll take the smiles the joy all the laughter
F
The memories we made ,the before and the after
Gm
Would it be okay if I took one last
Eb
glance
[Chorus]
Eb Gm
What if I stopped trying
Eb Gm
What if I just looked away
Eb Gm
What if I stopped trying
Eb Gm
Turned my back and ran away
Gm
Ran away

I’ll run away

From you
