Capo 2.
C
She's dropping out of school cause she don't need the grade,
G
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
C C9
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
C
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
G
I couldn't take her out cause Mom's got no money,
C C9
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
F C (G)
Sitting here at home, it's obvious
[Chorus]
C G
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
C
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
G C9
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
C C9
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
C
She makes me think, makes me think,
G Am C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
C
Cause I'm trying too hard again
C
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
G
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
C C9
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
C
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
G
I ripped my jeans and I dropped out of school,
C C9
I followed her around the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now
F C (G)
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

[Chorus]
C G
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
C
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
G C9
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
C C9
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
C
She makes me think, makes me think,
G Am C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
C
Cause I'm trying too hard again
C G
But now, who knew?
C9
She's in the crowd of my show
G
Nothing to lose,
C
She's standing right in the front row
C9
The perfect view,
G
She came along after all,
C9
But here's something that you should know
C G
You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
C
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
C9 G
Yeah she makes me feel, makes me feel
[Chorus]
C G
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
C
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
G C9
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
C C9
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
C
She makes me think, makes me think,
G Am C
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
C
Cause I'm trying too hard again
