I Tried to Tell Myself

guitar chords lyrics

Al Green

I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
That you would be back
(You would be back)

I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
That you would be back
(You would be back)
Oh, though you said you would
I only wish you could
I know I'm trying to be someone
Say I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
You got to ride
(You got to ride)
Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried
I really tired to sleep at night
(Sleep at night)

Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried
I really tired to sleep at night
(Sleep at night)
Before the break of day
Turning another page into life's mystery
And the light of day
I can now hear you say
I then take this trip
With me to eternity
Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
You need a friend
(You need a friend)
Oh and as soon as I wake up
The sun begin to shine, I start to rain
(Start to rain)
I see you finally made it
All the time you waited
I, I could be with you
I see you finally made it
All the time you waited
Now I wanna be with you, oh yeah
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I don't wanna ever leave you
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me all alone
I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me away
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I don't want you to ever leave me all alone
