Porter Wagoner - How ive tried

^CYou say that I can be your friend ^G7Forget my love for ^Cyou

^CYou say there's nothing left for me ^G7To find somebody ^Cnew

^FYou tell me to forget the things ^CThat's in the past and gone

^CYou just as well to tell the sun ^G7To rise before it's ^Cdawn

Cause I can't ^G7forget you ^Foh how I've ^Ctried

^CYou take a bird and clip its wings ^G7And it will fly no ^Cmore

^CBut you can't make that bird forget ^G7That it once flew be^Cfore

Like I can't ^G7forget you ^Foh how I've ^Ctried

^CYou're gonna wake some morning ^G7And find your world gone ^Cwrong

^CYou're gonna wish for the happiness ^G7That only we have ^Cknown

^FYou will be crying ^CTears of regret

^CYou're gonna remember the love sweetheart ^G7You told me to for^Cget

But I didn't ^G7forget you ^Foh how I've ^Ctried
