Try Hard

Intro: B  F#  G#m  E

      B
She's dropping out of school
'Cause she don't need the grades
    F#
The colors in her hair
Don't seem to fade
  G#m
I get dressed up when I go out
              E
But she gets dressed down
    B
And she's 17
I told her I'm 20
  F#
I couldn't take her out
'Cause mom's got no money
     G#m
It's stuff like this that makes me wish
              E
That I could change somehow

G#m     F#      E
Sitting here at home

              B5(9)           F#m
It's obvious, she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard
           E
'Cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
       Em
Like I try
Like I try
Like I'm trying too hard
       B5(9)         F#m
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's gettin' me down
         E
That she makes me think
Makes me think
       Em
That I try
That I try
That I'm trying too hard again

B F# G#m E
'Cause I'm trying too hard again

B
She's got a rose tattoo,
But she keeps it covered
F#
I play guitar
But she's into drummers
G#m
She's seen my face around
                     E
But she doesn't even know my name
  B
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool
  F#
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school
   G#m
I followed her around the town
                          E
But she thinks that I'm a weirdo now
G#m     F#     E
Sitting here at home

B5(9)           F#m
It's obvious, she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard
           E
'Cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
       Em
Like I try
Like I try
Like I'm trying too hard
       B5(9)         F#m
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's gettin' me down
         E
That she makes me think
Makes me think
       Em
That I try
That I try
That I'm trying too hard again

G#m E4      B5(9)
But now who knew?
     F#
That she's in the crowd at my show
G#m E4       B5(9)
  Nothin' to lose
      F#
She's standing right in the front row
G#m E4      B5(9)
The perfect view
    F#                 E
She came along on her own
                                      Em
And there's something that you should know

"You're so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel"
          E
Yeah, she makes me feel
She makes me feel

B5(9)           F#m
It's obvious, she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard
           E
'Cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
       Em
Like I try
Like I try
Like I'm trying too hard
       B5(9)         F#m
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's gettin' me down
         E
That she makes me think
Makes me think
       Em
That I try
That I try
That I'm trying too hard again

(B F# G#m E)
And again, and again, and again, and again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
