I’m Trying ( Not Friends ) taby ukulele według Maisie Peters (Chwyty barytonu)

** the Bridge follows the chord progression shown but gradually builds in volume,
so the first few lines can be played as N.C if you want to


[Verse 1]
B
London 2020
                     E
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
                        G#m
And I been tryna make a big step forward
F#
Saw you, it was awkward
E
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
B                                                E
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash

Kinda hope it does, though
                             G#m
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
F#                           E
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home


[Chorus]
        B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
          E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         G#m                          F#
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
             E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
      B
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
        E
And you swore you would do better this time
                G#m                    F#                   E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
                        B
But at least I'm trying
B
(At least I'm trying)

At least I'm trying


[Verse 2]
B
Three shots, lemon drops
                       E
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
                                G#m
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
F#                           E
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery

Just me? Okay
B                                             E
If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake
                           G#m                     F#
'Cause I'm a baby but I'm gonna be the bigger man, babe
                     E
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house


[Chorus]
        B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
          E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         G#m                          F#
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
             E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
      B
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
        E
And you swore you would do better this time
                G#m                    F#                   E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
                        B
But at least I'm trying

At least I'm trying


[Bridge]
    B
Not friends

No, we're somewhere in between
              E                                                      G#m
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night
     F#
Even then you didn't care
       E
It's a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
    B
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
           E
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby, don't look so surprised (Some people think I'm funny!)
   G#m             F#
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
          E
But we're nice to her in public cause we're grown up and mature
    B
Not friends
                                             E
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me and you couldn't really actually explain
  G#m           F#
I cried, then I told you it was cool
         E
God, you haven't changed at all!


[Chorus]
        B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
          E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         G#m                          F#
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
             E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
      B
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
        E
And you swore you would do better this time
                G#m                    F#                   E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
                 G#m                   F#                       E
And you might be awful like all of the time, yeah, it's almost inspiring
                      B
But at least I'm trying
B
At least I'm trying
B
At least I'm trying
