IT'S BETTER TO TRY AND FAIL

Written by Sam

Intro:
(G)-(Am7)-(G/B)-(C)-(D)-(C)-(G)

Chorus:
It's (G)better to (Am7)try (G/B)and (C)fail
Than to (D)carefully just let life pass you (G)by,
It's (G)better to (Am7)try to (G/B)no a(C)vail
Than to (D)sit around doing nothing till you (G)die.

You know the (Cmaj7)people that (Bm7)bravely give their (Am7)lives
For the (D)causes that change the World (G)today
Will (Cmaj7)find out that (Bm7)over the rainbow (Am7)lies
Their re(A7)ward, that their lives weren't spent in (D)vain.

[Repeat chorus]

You know I'd (Cmaj7)rather be (Bm7)walking in the (Am7)rain
Than be (D)hiding in my house on dreary (G)days,
And I'd (Cmaj7)rather be (Bm7)happy though in(Am7)sane
And be (A7)laughing at the World and their silly (D)ways.

[Repeat chorus]

Just (Cmaj7)go ahead and (Bm7)try to change black to (Am7)white,
The (D)normal people, well, they never even (G)try.
Just (Cmaj7)reach out by (Bm7)faith and really (Am7)fight.
Why should you (A7)walk when in the Spirit you can (D)fly?

[Repeat chorus]

And the im(Cmaj7)possible is (Bm7)something you don't (Am7)know
When you're (D)walking by faith and not by (G)sight.
And there's (Cmaj7)nothing to (Bm7)stop you if you'll (Am7)go,
So just (A7)stand up and hold up the (D)light.

Chorus two:
So I'd (G)rather (Am7)try (G/B)than (C)fail,
And we'll (D)surely win if only we will (G)try,
On life's (G)sea we've (Am7)just set (G/B)out to (C)sail.
And with God's (D)help we'll make it together, you and (G)I.
