Try Hard (acoustic)

She's dropping out of school 'cause she don't need the grade, The colors in her hair don't seem to fade, I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down 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 Sitting here at home, it's obvious She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard 'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel, Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard, 'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down That she makes me think, makes me think, That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again 'Cause I'm trying too hard again She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered, I play guitar but she's into drummers, She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool, I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school, I followed her 'round the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now Sitting here at home, it's obvious She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard 'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel, Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard, 'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down That she makes me think, makes me think, That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again 'Cause I'm trying too hard again But now, who knew? She's in the crowd of my show Nothing to lose, She's standing right in the front row The perfect view, She came alone on her own, And there's something that you should know She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard 'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel, (x2) She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard 'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel, Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard, 'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down That she makes me think, makes me think, That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again 'Cause I'm trying too hard again
