Intro: G...C/G...G...C/G...G...C/G...G...C/G
G C/G G C/G
here I am standing at your window again
G C/G G C/G
waiting for you to say go away or come in
G C/G
I’m your locked door’s worst knocker
G C/G
I’m your curtain’s best friend
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy Babe
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – I’m looking for an easy way
G C/G G C/G
your friends ask about me you say I can be found
G C/G G C/G
with the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
G C/G G C/G
oh the heart has no bones you say so it won’t break
G C/G G C/G
but the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy Babe
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – I’m looking for an easy way
G C/G G C/G
the ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
G C/G G C/G
and though they’re your hair that don’t mean I’m not caught
G C/G G C/G
I know the sound of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
G C/G G C/G
but that new thing you’ve got I’ve got no clue what it’s for
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy Babe
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – I’m looking for an easy way
G C/G G C/G
with fortune’s rocks millstones you hang round my throat
G C/G G C/G
and a brick for my window weighted down with a note
G C/G G C/G
Well I hope you find someone just as hard as you come
G C/G G C/G
in this hard world sadly that’s so easily done
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy Babe
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – I’m looking for an easy way
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – you don’t make it easy Babe
Am D G-C/G-G
I’m trying hard to love you – There's gotta be an easy way
