AFS 15 Don’t try too hard

Don’t try too hard
Give her an inch you know she’ll take a yard
See that snow on the hills
Better take it easy ‘fore you get the chills
You think she’ll give you the time of day?
Not her style, not the way she plays
Don’t make a fuss
Leading the field’s not for the likes of us
She’s calling the shots
She’ll shake you down if she knows you’ve got the hots
You’re down here whilst she’s up there
So don’t expect her to start playing fair
|G |G |F#m |A |
|G |G |E7 |A |A7 |
What you gonna do to make her look your way
Brain fried tongue tied so what to say
But don’t you try some stupid party stunt
If you get on her nerves you know you’re gonna lose the hunt
Instrumental verse
So take it easy that’s the secret trick
Try too hard and you’ll end up looking like a dick
Just be yourself, it’s your best disguise
Trickery she’ll see through with those beautiful eyes…
Don’t try too hard
Give her an inch you know she’ll take a yard
You gotta play out that line
Let her tire herself out while you wait for a sign
Deal the cool card, give a knowing grin
Let her come to you then reel her in
