Try Hard

         G                           D
She's dropping out of school 'cause she don't need the grade,
      Em                C
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
        G              D              Em              C
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down

(Same G D Em C as before)
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
I couldn't take her out 'cause Mom's got no money,
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
Em         D      C
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

[Chorus]
 G        Dm      C
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
            G                 Dm
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
C            C                     C
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
 G            Dm      C
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
G                         Dm
That she makes me think, makes me think,
C            C                       C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
G
'Cause I'm trying too hard again

[Verse 2]
 G                       D
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
   Em           C
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
G                     D                        Em         C
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
G                     D
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
    Em                     C
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school,
     G                     D                              Em     C
I followed her 'round the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now

[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D      C
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

[Chorus]
 G        Dm      C              C
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
              G              Dm
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
        C           C             C
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
 G              Dm    C             C
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
           G                   Dm
That she makes me think, makes me think,
        C           C                C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

[Bridge]
Em  G          C
But now, who knew?
                          Em
She's in the crowd of my show
   G       D
Nothing to lose,
D                                  Em
She's standing right in the front row
Em  C       G
The perfect view,
G                     Em
She came alone on her own,
Em                                       D
And there's something that you should know
 G          Dm      C
You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
           G                Dm
'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
             C                C
Yeah she makes me feel, she makes me feel

It's obvious

[Chorus]
G         Dm      C
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
            C                C
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
         C         C               C
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
        G        Dm   C
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
          C                  C
That she makes me think, makes me think,
         C           C             C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

[Outro]
       G          Dm                     C
(and again, and again, and again, and again)
             C               G
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
        G          Dm                   C
(and again, and again, and again, and again)
              Dm              G
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
