Capo 3 
 
        
I m a lonely guy with a lonely life 
         
I got a full-time job and a part-time wife 
                                   
And the grindstone just goes on and on 
          
You re a lonely girl that?s a lonely wife 
           
You got a three bedroom and an empty life 
                                        
And you re not quite sure just where it all went wrong 
                                        
There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away 
                                              
But there s a whole lot ridin  on this love so baby what s ya say 
 
 
Chorus: 
               
Let s give it one good shot 
                      
Let s really give it all we got 
                
We can take it nice and slow 
                       
Baby don t you want to go back 
          
Where we had a chance 
        
And we danced our dance 
                                    
In a world where a heart could never shatter 
          
We might go down cryin  
        
But at least our love will die 
           
Tryin  to matter, tryin  to matter 
 
 
We ve come a long way so don t forget 
Let s don t throw our hands up yet 
We ve still got time to change our mind 
Honey let s give it our best tonight 
If we still ain t got it right 
We can always, always say goodbye 
Somewhere I guess we let go and lost a little ground 
One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around 
 
Chorus 
 
 
We might go down cryin  
At least wour love will die tryin  
Tryin  to matter, tryin  to matter
