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
