G
She's dropping out of school 'cause she don't need the grade,
      D/F#
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
      Em                                    Cadd9
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
G
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
D/F#
I couldn't take her out 'cause Mom's got no money,
Em                                                  Cadd9
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Em      D/F#     Cadd9
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

G                       Dm
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
                 Cadd9
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
G                             Dm
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
               Cadd9
That she makes me think, makes me think,
                                                     G
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
  Cadd9                              G                                   
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
       G                               
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
D/F#
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
          Em                                       Cadd9
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
G
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
D/F#
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school,
     Em                                              Cadd9
I followed her 'round the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now

Em      D/F#     Cadd9
Sitting here at home, it's obvious


G                       Dm
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
                 Cadd9
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
G                             Dm
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
               Cadd9
That she makes me think, makes me think,
                                                       G
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
  Cadd9                      G                                   
'Cause I'm trying too hard again


Em    Cadd9      G
But now, who knew?
        D/F#              Em
She's in the crowd of my show
Em  Cadd9 G
Nothing to lose,
          D/F#                   Em
She's standing right in the front row
Em Cadd9 G
The perfect view,
        D/F#            Em
She came alone on her own,
Cadd9
And there's something that you should know


G                       Dm
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
                 Cadd9
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel, (x2)


G                       Dm
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
                 Cadd9
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
G                             Dm
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
               Cadd9
That she makes me think, makes me think,
                                                                G
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
  Cadd9                           G
