I have been trying
C D G
To write a haiku for you
C D
Some things I just can&rsquo t do
G C
Maybe you&rsquo re beyond
D G
Ancient Asian poetry
C D
Or maybe it&rsquo s just me
G
I have been trying
C D Em A
To get this haiku just right all night
Em A D
For you alright I&rsquo m through
G
Maybe this poem
C D G
Was lost in the sauce we spilled
C D
That never got refilled
G
I&rsquo ve never thought much
C D G
Of formulaic verse anyway
C D
And rhymes are not my fort
G
I have been trying
C D Em A
To get this haiku just right all night
Em A D
For you alright I&rsquo m through
F Dm G C
I&rsquo m trying not to try too hard
F G C
But you&rsquo re hard to write down right
F Dm G C
So I pen these trite attempts
F G C
At haikus for you tonight
C
This should be easy.
F B7 Em
They're simple, these rules. Why's it
C B
so hard to break through?
G
Wait. I actually did it.
C D Em
I wrote a haiku for you!
A Em A
I finally found a break, holy shit it's possible,
D
I finally made it through.
F Dm G C
I've been trying not to try my heart.
F G C
I've minded my own mind.
F Dm G C
So just this once, just one attempt.
F G C D# B
I'll write you down just right.
G
Kind, sweet and charming.
F D Gm
Voluptuously endowed.
D# D D#
Hair a darkened brown.
D#
But then suddenly,
F D G
a sharp, piercing pain resounds.
D# D Cm
Vision starts to cloud.
Cm
I wanted to see
D# D G F
the hand in which it was held,
D# D
before the knife fell.
D C B
but I stabbed myself.
Em
I finally did it,
B G F D#
yet it hasn't helped at all.
D
I still feel so small.
G
I know it's too late.
B G
I know you won't hear my call,
D Em
and so now I fall.
Em E G
I had been trying to write a haiku
C A D B Em
for so long, but now, this song, is finally through.
C B
It was all for you...
Em
