           C
There are times when I want it all to go away
      F                               C
Am I gonna leave, or am I gonna stay?
     G                      F
I'm living, I'm dying, I'm laughing, I'm crying
      C
I'm trying, I'm trying
    G
But I don't know

Other times when I think it's going all my way
Wanna pick up the pieces, make it all OK
I'm highing, I'm lowing, I'm coming, I'm going
I'm trying, I'm trying
And yes I know

Chorus:
           C
That it's fine, I ain't wasting time
                                          F
I don't mind, cos I know she's mine, all mine
                           C
And I never felt better before
       G
We're OK
    F                   C   G
And I ain't wasting my time

There are days that I never seem to understand
Why I'm taking off, just when I need to land
I'm running, I'm hiding, I'm slipping, I'm sliding
I'm trying, I'm trying
But I don't know

Other days when I feel I hold it in my hands
Ain't nothing gonna stop me realize my plans
I'm sitting, I'm talking, I'm sleeping, I'm walking
I'm trying, I'm trying
And yes I know
