Chords for God I Tried But I Fell Again - Chris Stapleton & Lauren Daigle (Country Gospel Song 2026)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] I _ was [Eb] talking to heaven on the [Bb] back road at 2 a.m.
[Cm] I said, Lord, I thought I was stronger, [Ab] but here I am again.
The [Eb] silence felt like thunder in [Bb] the places I still hide.
[Cm] I know grace is for the broken, [Ab] but tonight I'm terrified.
_ [Eb] I told myself this time I'd [Bb] walk the line, leave the whiskey and the ghost [Cm] behind.
A temptation's got a patient [Ab] way of finding cracks in a sinner's spine.
[Eb] _ I'm a-praying, [Bb] _
hands shaking in the pew,
[Cm] saying, son, the road is [Ab] narrow, but the mercy's wide for [Eb] you.
I believed it every Sunday, [Bb] till the night I lost my way.
[Cm] Now the devil knows my weakness, [Ab] and he calls me by my name.
[Fm] And I whispered in the darkness [Ab] with my head down,
_ [Eb] I tried, but I [Bb] fell again.
My knees hit the [Cm] ground like thunder, _ _ [Ab] always did.
[Eb] Every promise that I swore I'd keep slipped [Bb] right through my hands,
_ [Cm] but if mercy still remembers me, [Ab] Lord, help me stand again.
Cause [Eb] I know grace ain't something [Bb] that a broken man can learn,
but [Cm] if your love still reaches, [Ab] Lord, our hearts did never learn,
[Eb] God, I'd thrive _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ again.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] I saw a man on the corner [Bb] with a cardboard-signing tits.
[Cm] Said, I've been running from forgiveness [Ab] for about twenty years.
[Eb] Something in his trembling voice [Bb] felt like looking in a mirror.
[Cm] Shame can build a prison [Ab] out of every little fear.
I've [Eb] been wearing holy language [Bb] like a coat that hides the pain,
[Cm] but the truth is I'm still learning [Ab] how to trust amazing grace.
[Eb] Underneath these city street lights, [Bb] I can hear my spirit say,
[Cm] every slave was once a sinner who [Ab] just never walked away.
God, [Eb] I tried, but I [Bb] fell again.
My knees hit the [Cm] ground like thunder, I'm right back where [Ab] I've always been.
_ [Eb] Every promise that I swore I'd keep, slipped right through [Bb] my hands,
_ [Cm] but if mercy still remembers me, [Ab] Lord, help me stand again.
Cause I [Eb] know grace ain't something _ [Bb] that a broken heart can learn,
but if [Cm] your love still reaches, [Ab] for the souls that never learned,
God, [Eb] I tried.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] Baby, pardon ain't the [Eb] ending.
[Bb] Baby, grace is where we land.
[Cm] Baby, every shattered moment
is [Ab] still held inside your hand.
If the cross was built for failures,
[Bb] then I guess there's hope for me.
Cause [Cm] redemption writes a story,
[Ab] even sinners get to see.
God, I [Eb] _ tried, but I fell [Bb] again.
But your [Cm] mercy sounds like thunder,
[Ab] calling broken hearts back in.
Every [Eb] road I laid away won't lead me back to you [Bb] somehow. _
And the [Cm] place I couldn't find before
is [Ab] falling on me now.
If [Eb] forgiveness is a river,
[Bb] let it wash my past away.
Cause [Cm] the sinner that I was last night
[Ab] ain't the man I'll be today.
God, [Eb] I tried, _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Cm] I fell again.
[Ab] But your love, help me rise [Eb] again. _ _ _
