[Verse 1]
B E
Do you wanna come to a party?
C#m E
My friends picked me up in a truck at eleven thirty
B
This thing's at a frat house,
E
but people are cool there
C#m
Reluctant, I followed,
E
but I never dreamed there
B E
Would be someone there who would catch my attention
C#m E
I wasn't out searching for love or affection
B E
So I payed my three in and the girls got in free
C#m E F# B
Shined the beer for tequila and we headed into the party
[Verse 2]
B
And then, in the backyard,
E
some terrible ska band
C#m E
Someone in the background was doing a keg stand
B
This place is so lame,
E
all these girls look the same
C#m
All these guys have no game,
E
I wished I would've stayed
B
In my bed back at home,
E
watching TV alone
C#m
Where I'd put on some porn,
E
or have sex on the phone
B E
Far from people I hate down from anywhere State
C#m E F#
Trying to intoxicate girls to give them head after the
B
party
[Pre-Chorus]
B C#m E
And then I saw her standing there
F# B
With green eyes and long blonde hair
C#m E
She wasn't wearing underwear
F#
At least I prayed that
B C#m
She might be the one
E F#
Maybe we'd have some fun
B C#m
Maybe we'd watch the sun rise
E
But that night,
F# B
I learned some girls try too hard
[Chorus]
E C#m E B
Some girls try too hard
E
C#m E B E
And some girls try too hard to impress
C#m E
With the way that they dress
B E
With those things on their chests
C#m E
And the things they suggest to me
[Verse 2]
B E
I couldn't believe what this lady was saying
C#m
The names she was dropping,
E
the games she was playing
B E
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
C#m E
How she's down with the wise wellconstructed disguise
B E
Now I'd rather go dateless than stay here and hate this
C#m
Her volume of makeup,
E
her fake tits were tasteless
B
So I said I'd call her,
E
but never would bother
C#m E F# B
Until I got turned down by another girl at a party
[Pre-Chorus]
B C#m E
So when you see her standing there
F# B
With green eyes and long blonde hair
C#m E
She won't be wearing underwear
F#
And you'll discover
B C#m
This girl's not the one
E F#
And she'll never be fun
B C#m
You should just turn and run
E F# B
Because you'll find out that some girls try too hard
[Chorus]
E C#m E B
Some girls try too hard
E
C#m E B E
And some girls try too hard to impress
C#m E
With the way that they dress
B E
With those things on their chests
C#m E
And the things they suggest to me
[Outro]
B E C#m E B
Some girls try too hard
E C#m E B
Some girls try too hard
