TRYING TO GET OVER YOU
Music and Lyrics by Vince Gill
Originally transcribed by Jeff Gary
Revision by Gary Halverson

Jeff had transcribed the song in the same key as I have, so I just added the parts that I feel make the song sound fuller with just a single acoustic guitar.  

INTRO:  D G A Asus A G A D G A D

D		G		    A                 Asus A     G
You could have given me a million reasons why
A 		    D        G A D
But that wouldn't change a thing
D	      G		A	        Asus A	G
You said it all when you said goodbye
	         A		          D		G A D
And you took off your wedding ring

CHORUS:
D	  G	          A           Asus  A  D
I've been trying to get over you
	   G		A        Asus A  D
I've been spending time alone
	  G                 A            Asus A  G
I've been trying to get over you
	          A		    D     G A D
But it'll take dying to get it done

D         G		      A 	        Asus A  G
All my friends keep trying to fix me up
         A			D    G A D
Say I need somebody new
D		   G		A	   Asus	A G
When it comes to love I've all but given up
	    	        A		         D	    G A D
Cause life don't mean nothing without you

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: D G A Asus A G A D G A D G A Asus A G A D G A D

CHORUS
[Last line of chorus]
	           A                 D      G A G
 But it'll take dying to get it done
	 A      (NO CHORD)      D G A Asus A G A D
It'll take dying to get it done

Play the last line with one strum on both the G and the A then no chord until line 
is finished.  The last three chords, G A D, are played slow with the D being picked to finish.
 
Play it with feeling!!!
