[Cm] I try not to hurry, but I'm [G] always in a rush.
I try not to worry, [Cm] but it gets to be too much.
I try to stay busy, I just [Fm] don't know what to do.
[G] Trying not to fall [Gm] in love [Cm] with you.
I try to be patient, but it [G] gets too hard to breathe.
I try to run away, but [Cm] you know that I won't.
And every day I try to tell [Fm] myself that we are through.
[G] Trying not to fall in [Eb] love [Cm] with you.
[B]
And [Bb] all the nights seem so [Eb] long.
And [Bb] the days, how they, [Eb] they're gone, all along.

[C] [Bb] Am I the only [Gm] one?

[F] [Bb]
[Cm] I try to play it fairly, [G] but you don't play by the rules.
Why do I look [Dm] for [Eb] wisdom when [Cm] it's just a game of fools?
It's a lofty aspiration, [Fm] yet it's one I must pursue.
[Gb] [G] Trying not [Dm] to fall [Ab] in love with [C] you.
They put me on [Cm] medication, but it [C] wouldn't

I tried to sever relations, [Cm] but the bond wouldn't break.
Tomorrow I'll awake [Fm] and try to start my life anew.

Trying not to fall in love, in [Cm] love with you.
