Bm7♭5

VERSE 1

Dm G

I wake to greet the day

The day reacts like it was asked

“Is Pepsi OK?”

E7 Am7

Now through those glasses dark, the gaze

Dm G

Of a major rubbernecker—yeah, she’s no triple-A

E7 Am7

Left my batteries drained, this Ms. Heather Gray:

Dm G C

Saying “it’s not hue, it’s me”—that old no-filter cliché

PRE-CHORUS

Bm7b5 E7 Bm7b5 E7

…well, fuck me for tryin’

CHORUS

At the point I run out of road

On my dying day

When I get KO’d

Will I be OK?

Or will I think, well, fuck me for trying

You keep your love

but least you coulda said

was thank you for trying

VERSE 2

I rise to read the room

The room goes cold like it was told

It flubbed “who” for “whom"

but to kill the vibe, it takes tomb:

At some balls, the belle’s a jar—to say nothing of the groom

Points out that on reflection, every mood becomes doom

Dude’s so checked out from his marriage that his heart joins on Zoom

PRE-CHORUS → BRIDGE

Bm7b5 E7 Am7 Abmaj7

…well, fuck me for tryin’

Gm7 Fmaj7 Fm7 Gm7

Am7 Abmaj7 D7

CHORUS

Dm G

When the time comes for me to go

and I give up the ghost

When they’ve laid me low

Fmaj7

Will I raise a toast?

Fmmaj7 Em7

Or will I think, well, fuck me for trying?

you keep your love

Dm7

—but least you coulda said

G7 E7

was thank you for trying

don’t need your love

Dm7

—but now, before we’re dead,

Dm7b5 Cmaj7(9,

11,13)

hey, thank you for trying
