chords transposed by David Martin [Verse 1]
       C                  G
I can't tell you what it means

         D                   Em
When you are here, I am at ease

        C                      G
I don't blame you when you're gone

      D                Em
For the sadness in my song

C                          G
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own

D/F#               Em
The coast is never clear

C                            G
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive

         D                       Em
So we can watch that shadow disappear
[Chorus]
      C            G            D           G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by

              C         Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting

                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

            G          C
They tell me Give it up

               G         Em
But I won't ever give it up
[Verse 2]
       C                     G
Because when the night does fade

     D                     Em
I'm alive in the strangest way

     C                     G
Those first few cracks of dawn

      D                    Em
Are a taste of what's to come

C                   G
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all

D/F#          Em
I get lost in fear

C                         G                          D
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I've got

                  Em
I know you will be here
[Chorus]
         C             G             D          G
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by

              C         Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting

                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

            G         C
They tell me Give it up

            G            Em
But I won't ever give it up
[Bridge] Ah, they tell me
C
So what she's in your head?

D
She's gonna leave again?

Em
What's gonna happen then?

G
She's just enabling

C
And there is truth to that

D
But I ain't holding back

Em          G
If you try, try, try
[Chorus]
C              G          D          G
Try to be with me, I will try to get by

They don't know, this fool doesn't mind...

       C              G          D          G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by

               C        Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting

                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

             G
They tell me Give it up

C                G       C
But I won't ever give it up

                     G       C
Oh, and they tell me Give it up

            G            C
But I won't ever give it up
