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
IÂ’m your locked doorÂ’s worst knocker
         G             C/G
IÂ’m your curtainÂ’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 wonÂ’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 theyÂ’re your hair that donÂ’t mean IÂ’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 youÂ’ve got IÂ’ve got no clue what itÂ’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 fortuneÂ’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 thatÂ’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
