[Verse 1]
Eb                                    Bb
  I always took the wrong side of the high road
Eb                                  Bb
  Always wondering what I'd leave behind
Eb                              Bb     Bb/A     Gm
  The thing I couln't find is a little peace of mind


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                              F
  Nothing left but losing on my side
Eb                             Bb
  It always hurts, but I never learn
                 Eb                             D7
If you play with fire, you could be the first to  burn


[Chorus]
D                  Gm
 Maybe I tried too hard
      Eb            Bb
Maybe I was born to fail
               Eb      D              Gm   F
Maybe all I've done is pave a path to hell


[Verse 2]
          Eb             Bb
There's a girl I used to know
    Eb                  Bb
She dragged me down the road
        Eb      Bb                 D7
Looking back, I see the signs that show


[Chorus]
D                  Gm    Ab Gm  Bb
 Maybe I tried too hard


[Verse 3]
Eb                              Bb
  Never found a place to lay my anchor
Eb                           Bb
  Every single slip-up I let slide
Eb                       Bb        Bb/A     Gm
  No matter how I try to fight the changing tide


[Pre-Chorus]
Cm                                F
  I always end up rocking side to side
Eb                             Bb
  It always hurts, but I never learn
      Eb                                        D7
I you play with fire, you could be the first to burn


[Chorus]
D
 Maybe I tried too hard
      Eb            Bb
Maybe I was born to fail
               Eb             D        Gm     F
Maybe all I've done is pave a path the hell


[Verse 4]
          Eb             Bb
There's a girl I used to know
    Eb                  Bb
She dragged me down the road
Eb              Bb                  Dy
Looking back, I see the signs that show


[Chorus]
D                  Gm    Ab Gm Bb
 Maybe I tried too hard

[Outro]
          Eb             Bb
There's a girl I used to know
    Eb                  Bb
She dragged me down the road
    Eb              Bb                 Cm
And looking back, I see the signs that show
Eb                  Bb
  Maybe I tried too hard
