Trying Too Hard

          C                  G          C
Well it's hard for kids like us to grow up
      Am
Our nostalgia comforts us
    F                        C
The world's so dangerous out there

                          G
You've tried your best to care
           Am             F
Before the pressure takes hold of us
    C            G
The world's puppeteering us

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
 I'm right here
F                            C
 Although you haven't said a word
                G
I can hear your problems loud and clear

Am
 So can you see straight?
F                         C
 Or do I need more silver paint?
                          G
(or do i need more silver paint?)

[Chorus]
            Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
     F
Or a hot headed creep
        C     G
Sing it proud

        Am
I would change everything
           F
Would that change anything?
      C
Don't mind me
         G
I'm just thinking out loud

           Am
Though our sight's on the stars
         F
We won't get very far
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

           Am
So tell me is this enough?
        F
Tell me if it's too much
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

Am F
      C                G
(Am I trying too hard?)

[Verse 2]
        C             G             C
Well we all know when push comes to shove
        Am
Feeling insignificant
   F                      C
To life's indifference to all

                         G
I'll help you break your fall
         Am       F
From the mindless attention-getters
C            G
You could do so much better

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
 I'm right here
F                          C
 Although i haven't said a word
                G
It's clear, I'm just another mirror

Am
 So can you see straight?
F                         C
 Maybe i need more silver paint?
                      G
(silver paint, silver paint, silver paint)

[Chorus]
            Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
     F
Or a hot headed creep
        C     G
Sing it proud

        Am
I would change everything
           F
Would that change anything?
      C
Don't mind me
         G
I'm just thinking out loud

           Am
Though our sight's on the stars
         F
We won't get very far
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

           Am
So tell me is this enough?
        F
Tell me if it's too much
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

[Bridge]
         Am                       F
All your antics can come off as bizarre
              C                       G
You know it's possible to push it too far
          Am                          F
You never knew that acts could be too loud
             C                          G
What does it mean to be picked out in a crowd?

          Am
We're the fools
            F
We lose our cool
          C
And fall away
             G
From all the shame

           G
So when in doubt
N.C
It's easier to cut the act

[End Chorus]
            Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
     F
Or a hot headed creep
        C     G
Sing it proud

        Am
I would change everything
           F
Would that change anything?
      C
Don't mind me
         G
I'm just thinking out loud

(Am I trying too hard?)

           Am
Though our sight's on the stars
         F
We won't get very far
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

           Am
So tell me is this enough?
        F
Tell me if it's too much
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

       Am
I'll regret what I say
         F
Bring it up anyway
     C
Am I trying too hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

         Am
You're a cold blooded freak
      F
I'm a hot headed creep
     C
Am I trying too Hard?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

         Am
You're a cold blooded freak
      F
I'm a hot headed creep
     C
Tell me is this too much?
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

    Am
I'd change everything
           F
Would that change anything?
       C
I'll regret what I'll say
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)

      Am
Being stuck in the dark
        F
Ain't a walk in the park
        C
Tell me now
      G
(Am I trying too hard?)
