[Verse 1]
GI cannot say that I Cknow you Gwell

I'm just tryingG to leave Csomething beGhind
[Verse 2]
GWords have come from Cmen and Gmouths

When all the Cwater is goneEm my Gjob will be Ctoo
And I'm just tryingG to leave Csomething behind G

But I'm tryingG to leave Csomething beGhind
[Verse 3]

Oh Cmoney is freeEm but love costs Gmore than our Cbread
And the ceiling is Ghard to reach D
