[D] What's the use to deny we've been [G] living a [D] lie
That we should have admitted be[A]fore
We were [D] just victims of a [G] half-hearted [D] love
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
The vows that we make are [G] only to [D] break
We drift like a wave from the [A] shore
The [D] kisses we steal we [G] know are not [D] real
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
The dreams that we knew can [G] never come [D] true
They're gone to return no [A] more
[D] False love like ours [G] fades with the [D] flowers
So why should we [A] try any[D]more
Our story's so old a[G]gain has been [D] told
On the past let's close the [A] door
And [D] smile don't regret but [G] live and [D] forget
There's no use to [A] try any[D]more
Hank Williams (1923-1953) is considered one of the greatest country music songwriters of all time. Born in Alabama, USA, Williams began his musical career playing in local venues and radio stations. In 1947 he signed with MGM Records and quickly achieved success with songs like «Your Cheatin' Heart» and «Hey, Good Lookin'». His music was characterized by melancholic melodies, sincere lyrics, and a powerful and emotive voice. Williams sold millions of records during his short career, influencing generations of country artists and becoming an icon of American music. Among his most important albums are «Honky Tonkin'» (1952) and «The Essential Hank Williams» (posthumous compilation).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
