Macy Gray - I Try
Originally in D, I play in G capo 3
Highest note that matters is the #4 (that’s the 4 after the key change: “*crum*bles when you are not near”)
Short orchestral intro is vaguely...
Bdim7→ Cdim7
Vox on the 1 on “games”
GGames, changes, and feDars
Hard stop on the second “will”
When will they Am7go from here, when will they stop?
I believe that fGate has brought us hDere
And we should be toAm7gether babe, but we’re not
CI play it off but I’m drBm7eaming of you
Am7And I’ll keep my cool but I’m feDigning
I try to say goodbGye and I choke
I try to walk awaDsus4y and I stumble
Though I try to hAm7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruCmbles when you are not near D
GoodbGye and I choke
I try to walk awaDsus4y and I stumble
Though I try to hAm7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruCmbles when you are not near
GI may appear to be free D
But I’m just a priAm7soner of your love
And I may seem alrGight, and smile, when you leDave
But my smiles are jAm7ust a front, just a front, yeah
CAnd I play it off but I’m dBm7reaming of you
Am7And I’ll keep my cool but I’m feDigning
I try to say goodbGye and I choke
I try to walk awaDsus4y and I stumble
Though I try to hAm7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruCmbles when you are not near D
GoodbGye and I choke
I try to walk awaDsus4y and I stumble
Though I try to hAm7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruCmbles when you are not near Dsus4
A#maj7Here is my confeDm7ssion, may I be your possA#maj7ession
Boy I need your tAm7ouch, your love kisses and sF7uch
With all my might I Em7try, but this I can’t denAm7y, deny
It’s tempting to go way up here, but that will take you very high... an Eb in the original key!
So, just do this at the same place as the other prechoruses
CI play it off but I’m drBm7eaming of you (but I’m dreaming of you babe)
Am7And I’ll keep my cool but I’m feDigning
This key change makes the guitar a lot less fun, so it’s OK to just not do the key change
I tD#ry to say goG#odbye and I choke, yeah
Try to walkD#susaway and I stumble
Though I try to hA#m7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruC#mbles when you are nD#ot near
GoodG#bye and I choke
I try to walk aD#way and I stumble
Though I try to A#m7hide it, it’s clear
My world C#crumbles when you are not near
GoodG#bye and I choke
I try to walk aD#way and I stumble
Though I try to hA#m7ide it, it’s clear
My world cruC#mbles when you are nD#ot near
G#Yeah yeah yeah yeah D#A#m7C#D#G#
