[Verse]
C# Fm F# G#
She bites her nails as she waits for the train (Uh huh)
C# Fm F# G#
You won't look up because you know she's insane (That's right)
C# Fm F# G#
And if you touch her she'll shout through the tears
F A# F# G#
She'll pull your hair and scream in your ears
[Bridge]
F# G# E(II) A#
"The meaning it goes away sometimes
F# G# E(II) A#
I know all the words but they don't seem to rhyme
F# G# F A#
Sometimes all I can do is lie,"
F# F D# G#
She says as the water pours from her eyes
[Chorus]
C#
You can't
F E D#
Make me cry
F D#
You can try you can try
C#
But you can't
F E D#
Make me cry
F D#
You can try you can try
C#
But you can't
F E D#
Make me cry
F D#
You can try you can try
C#
But you can't
F E D#
Make me cry
F D# C#
You can try you can try

C# Fm F# G#
"Bloody nose and a broken tooth
C# Fm F# G#
Black and blue all over you,"
Fm F# G#
You say as you walk her to the bus
F F# G#
You're beat enough for the two of us
[Bridge]
F# G# E(II) A#
You'll go over under and backwards now
F# G# E(II) A#
Only things that you want are what you're not allowed
F# G# F A#
The people trying to bring you down
F# F D# C# G#
Are the only ones who want you around
[Chorus]
C#
But they can't
F E D#
Make you cry
F D#
They can try they can try
C#
But they can't
F E D#
Make you cry
F D#
They can try they can try
C#
But they can't
F E D#
Make you cry
F D#
They can try they can try
C#
But they can't
F E D#
Make you cry
F D#
They can try they can try
