Album: One More Day
Writers: Darrell Scott/Tia Sillers
Intro: C D (x2)
Verse 1:
G
She said I'm not pointing fingers
D/F#
He said yes you are
Em D C
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
G
If I told you I'd been walking
D/F#
Out in the dark night thinking
Em D C
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word
D
I can't change what's done is done
D
But I can tell you this
Chorus 1:
Em D
Not a day goes by that I
C
Don't curse myself and all my sins
G
And I need you to hold on to
D
While this part of me is dying
Em D
And though I haven't kicked the demons
C Bm C G D
That haunt me, I'm trying
C G
I'm trying
Verse 2:
She sat down on the floor
And said I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel fragile as glass
I want to believe you
Believe what's held you has freed you
And I hate these doubts that keep on coming back
My parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
Chorus 2:
But there's nothing more I want for us
Than to prove to them they're wrong
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to think you're lying
And though I haven't found the faith
That I need, I'm trying
I'm trying
C D C C D Em
He asked do you want me to leave
C D
Cause if you do you know I will
C D C C D Em
But she said much to his disbelief
C D
Nooo I love you still
C G/B C
Ooooh I love you still
G
He said I don't know why I've been the fool
D/F#
But I can tell you this
Chorus 3:
Not a day goes by that I
Don't curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were crying
He said I haven't been the man
I want to be, but I'm trying
I'm trying
Bm C G D
I'm trying
C G
Oh I'm trying
