* = broken chords
[Intro]
* * * *
[Verse]
* * * *
I tried letting you back in
* * * *
I tried a second chance
* * * *
I tried forgetting your past
* * * *
I tried never looking back
* * *
I tried
[Chorus]
What if I stopped trying
What if I just looked away
What if I stopped trying
Turned my back and ran away
Ran away
[Bridge]
And oh
And I canât deny the way you make me feel
And when talk I know Itâs something real
When I see your face
I canât erase the memories that fill my head
And I canât deny but Iâll try
[Pre-chorus] (The chords are played very short and staccato)
What if what if,I just stopped attempting
Just let it all go and try to to be your friend and
Never looked back on what ,we ,once
had
So Iâll take the smiles the joy all the laughter
The memories we made ,the before and the after
Would it be okay if I took one last
glance
[Chorus]
What if I stopped trying
What if I just looked away
What if I stopped trying
Turned my back and ran away
Ran away
Iâll run away
From you
