[Intro]
Cm7 Bb F
[Verse 1]
Cm7
I was waiting for the bus one day
Bb F
Watched a fight between an artsy couple escalate
Cm7
Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage
Bb F
Then he spilled his coffee as he frantically explained
[Verse 2]
Cm7
Maybe if you took a breath you would hear me when I talk to you
Bb
Threw her necklace in his face
F
Eyes so bright with disappointment
Cm7 Bb
I saw something inside her break everybody knows the feeling
N.C.
Suddenly he started screaming
[Chorus]
Cm7 Bb
"Caroline, I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
Cm7 Bb
Caroline, I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
Cm7 Bb
I swear to God I tried,
F
I swear to God I tried"
[Verse 3]
Cm7
Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran
Bb F
Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street
Cm7
Watched his world dissolve in his hands
Bb N.C.
Tried to roll a blem then put his head between his knees
[Verse 4]
Cm7
Maybe if she took a breath she would know I did it all for her
Bb
Agony and hints of sage
F
Her eyes blind with disappointment
Cm7 Bb
I couldn’t recognize her face shards of glass live in this feeling
N.C.
Have to somehow stop her leaving
[Chorus]
Cm7 Bb
"Caroline, I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
Cm7 Bb
Caroline, I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
Cm7 Bb
Caroline, I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
[Outro]
Cm7 Bb
I swear to God I tried
F
I swear to God I tried
Cm7 Bb
I swear to God I tried,
F
I swear to God I tried"
