7-76-6  7  7   6  7 <7   6   6   -7 <7 -7  -66
  I'm  trying to forget you but try as I   may
    
 -7      8   -7  8 -7    6     6    -7  6  7
You're still my ev'ry thought dear, ev'ry day.

-7  -7  7  7   6  7 <7   6     6   -7  <7-7-66
No use trying to forget you 'cause I   realize

 8   -7   8 -7   8 -7  6   6  
That I'm trying to forget you 

 -5    7  <7  -7  6-7
with tears in my eyes.

 -7  -7    7   -6   -6 7  -7 -8 -8  
And those teardrops only remind me 

-8  -8   8   8   -8  -7   8
that I love you more and more,

-7  -8   8   8  8  8    8     -9 -8 -7 
So I'll put my foolish pride behind me 

-7   -8   8  -7     8  -7
and come knocking, knocking

-6   7   6-5
at your  door.

 7   -7  -8  -7 7   6  7 <7    6   
And I'll be trying to impress you, 

-7 -7  <7 -7 -6    6
hoping to possess you

  8    -7  8  8 -7 8   -7   6      6
Though I know I haven't a chance dear, 

 -5     7    <7 -7 6 -7
There's no    denying;

 -7  -8   8    -7  -6  6 7    6   -5 5
But you can't blame a fellow for trying.
