[Verse]
A C#m D E
She bites her nails as she waits for the train (Uh huh)
A C#m D E
You won't look up because you know she's insane (That's right)
A C#m D E
And if you touch her she'll shout through the tears
C# F# D E
She'll pull your hair and scream in your ears
[Bridge]
D E E(II) F#
"The meaning it goes away sometimes
D E E(II) F#
I know all the words but they don't seem to rhyme
D E C# F#
Sometimes all I can do is lie,"
D C# B E
She says as the water pours from her eyes
[Chorus]
A
You can't
C# C B
Make me cry
C# B
You can try you can try
A
But you can't
C# C B
Make me cry
C# B
You can try you can try
A
But you can't
C# C B
Make me cry
C# B
You can try you can try
A
But you can't
C# C B
Make me cry
C# B A
You can try you can try
[Verse]
A C#m D E
"Bloody nose and a broken tooth
A C#m D E
Black and blue all over you,"
C#m D E
You say as you walk her to the bus
C# D E
You're beat enough for the two of us
[Bridge]
D E E(II) F#
You'll go over under and backwards now
D E E(II) F#
Only things that you want are what you're not allowed
D E C# F#
The people trying to bring you down
D C# B A E
Are the only ones who want you around
[Chorus]
A
But they can't
C# C B
Make you cry
C# B
They can try they can try
A
But they can't
C# C B
Make you cry
C# B
They can try they can try
A
But they can't
C# C B
Make you cry
C# B
They can try they can try
A
But they can't
C# C B
Make you cry
C# B
They can try they can try
[Outro]
