Gave It a Try

guitar chords lyrics

Joan Armatrading

Two weeks, I went back
Trying to find my way in society
Found me a job

Showing consideration
For my relations
I gave it a try
Mother I have tried and cried
Father I have tried and cried
Brothers I have tried and cried
Tried it your way
Now I'll do it my way
Two weeks, I smiled
Though in my heart I cried repeated mistakes
Long left behind
Felt no desire

Though in my heart I cried repeated mistakes
Long left behind
Felt no desire
To return
But I gave it a try
Mother I have tried and cried
Father I have tried and cried
Brothers I have tried and cried
Tried it your way
Now I'll do it my way
Now I'll do it my way
