I have tried yet I find myself thinking alot about the words and the chords at the same time, which results in me losing focus and then it's all down hill and it doesn't take very long for this to happen, like bar or two...!
Any hints???

One at a time, baby. One at a time. Keep this in mind, your voice, as well as your guitar, is a musical instrument, It is very difficult to learn two different instruments at the same time. The reason for this, and, you mentioned this yourself, you need to focus on the rules for each (i.e. what chord comes next? where do I place my fingers for that chord?)
Concentrate on one instrument first. When you have conquered that instrument, and it becomes almost second nature to you, and it will, then, move on to the next.

I'm also having trouble with that. Even though, I'm just learning, I can't figure out-it's just hard to concentrate on two things. I think what you have to do is practice the chords, practice the words, and slowly put them together.

You gotta learn to play until it becomes part of you and you're completely comfortable with it. Then learn your song. Then practice combining both and practice some more!
It takes time!

Take guitar lessons and vocal lessons. You can practice singing and playing at the same time. The singing part should be easy.
