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

She's in the crowd of my show
Em Cadd9 G
Nothing to lose,

She's standing right in the front row

The perfect view,
