A
Heart don't try so hard this time

A/C#    D                 A
Let her go; You know it's done without a doubt.

Don't fall back into that same "I'm all alone" and sit and pine

      A/C#         D                 D/E               A
She's just another thing that we can learn to live without

G9                               D/F#
 We were caught up in that fiery passion of the moment

G/A  A              G/A              A
        Hoping that love was here to stay

G9                              D/F#
   It looked like true romance, well worth taking a chance

D/E
Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.

 repeat intro

A
 I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction

A/C#       D             A
Manifest itself in my confusion.

I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her

A/C#         D              D/E     A
haughty disposition made me lose my way.

G9                     D/F#
I must admit I spent a fine short moment

G/A                 A             G/A                  A
fighting to take control,     not willing to take that chance.

G9                              D/F#
   I thought I couldn't let go.    Sentimental fool, you know

D/E           D     E
A casualty of big romance.

 A/C#  D                   F#m       G
      Heart, don't try so hard this time.

         D            A/C#    D       D/E         A
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.

      A/C#             D               F#m              G
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know

          D                 A/C#       D          D/E
We got to learn to see when something's finally gone

                A
and just let it go.


G9                                 D/F#
 Seem like every time you find the real thing

G/A                A       G/A                   A
   First thing you know,     picking yourself up off the floor

G9                               D/F#
  Seem like you just get started   then you're first-degree downhearted

D/E                           D               E
   Next thing you hear is the slamming of the door

A/C#  D                   F#m       G
      Heart, don't try so hard this time.

         D             A/C#    D      D/E         A
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.

      A/C#             D               F#m              G
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know

          D                 A/C#        D
We got to learn to see when something's finally

A
Say good-bye and keep on walking

A/C#  D                   F#m       G
             Don't try so hard this time.
