🩷📀 🩷 TH-JB-04 Tried To Make It Work

[Intro] (Hesitant piano, upright bass stumbles) [Verse 1] Saw you at the drugstore buying cigarettes Same brand you smoked when we first met You said "hey stranger" like we were brand new I said "hey" like my heart wasn't black and blue (black and blue) [Verse 2] Three weeks later we were dancing again Same jukebox, same old sin Your arms around me felt like coming home But home don't feel like home when you're alone (when you're alone) [Chorus] We tried to make it work, Lord knows we tried But some bridges burn no matter how hard you cry We tried to dance but we kept stepping on old scars Jukebox played our song but we were out of tune guitars Out of tune guitars (out of tune) [Steel and Piano Solo] [Verse 3] Mama warned me "fool me once, shame on you" Fool me twice? That's just what fools do I packed my heart in a paper sack Left it on your doorstep, didn't look back (didn't look back) [Chorus] We tried to make it work, Lord knows we tried But some bridges burn no matter how hard you cry We tried to dance but we kept stepping on old scars Jukebox played our song but we were out of tune guitars Out of tune guitars (out of tune) [Outro] Maybe this time... (no...) [Outro - Stopped Down] (Whispered vocal, final piano chord doesn't resolve) [End] Texas…..…..Honey…… out …… [End]
