      I can't give you more than what I've got 

      You can't expect to get what I have not 

      I... can only give you lovin' 'til the sun goes down 

      And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown 
         C5           D5 
      I try   and I try 
           C5                  D5 {n c } 
      But baby, you know that I 
                         G5     C5  F5   G5   C5  F5 
      Can only give you everything 
 
Verse 2 (organ enters): 
 
      Why can't I get you to understand 

      'Cause after all I am just a man 

      You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall 

      And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call 

      I try   and I try 

      But baby, you know that I 

      Can only give you everything

      I'll do anything you want me to do 

      'Cause I don't want to know this life without you 

      Oh... don't ever go and leave me in this world alone 

      I'd... be like a little child if I was on my own 
        Db5          Eb5 
      I try   and I try 
          Db5                  Eb5 {n c }
