A
Heart don't try so hard this time
A/C# D A
Let her go; You know it's done without a doubt.
Don't fall back into that same "I'm all alone" and sit and pine
A/C# D D/E A
She's just another thing that we can learn to live without
G9 D/F#
We were caught up in that fiery passion of the moment
G/A A G/A A
Hoping that love was here to stay
G9 D/F#
It looked like true romance, well worth taking a chance
D/E
Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.
repeat intro
A
I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction
A/C# D A
Manifest itself in my confusion.
I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her
A/C# D D/E A
haughty disposition made me lose my way.
G9 D/F#
I must admit I spent a fine short moment
G/A A G/A A
fighting to take control, not willing to take that chance.
G9 D/F#
I thought I couldn't let go. Sentimental fool, you know
D/E D E
A casualty of big romance.
A/C# D F#m G
Heart, don't try so hard this time.
D A/C# D D/E A
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.
A/C# D F#m G
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don't you know
D A/C# D D/E
We got to learn to see when something's finally gone
A
and just let it go.
G9 D/F#
Seem like every time you find the real thing
G/A A G/A A
First thing you know, picking yourself up off the floor
G9 D/F#
Seem like you just get started then you're first-degree downhearted
D/E D E
Next thing you hear is the slamming of the door
A/C# D F#m G
Heart, don't try so hard this time.
