    B
Do you wanna
           E
come to a party
My friends picked me
C#m              E
up in a truck at 11:30
      B
The things at a frat house
         E
but the people are cool there
  C#m
Reluctant I followed but
E
I never dreamed there
       B
Would be someone there who
       E
would catch my attention
  C#m
I wasn't out searching
     E
for love or affection
   B
So I paid my three and
     E
the girls got in free
           C#m
Shined the beer for tequila
     E        F#        B
and we headed into the party

And then, in the backyard,
some terrible ska band
Someone in the background
was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame,
all these girls look the same
All these guys have no game,
I wished I would've stayed
In my bed back at home, watching TV alone
Where I'd put on some porn,
or have sex on the phone
Far from people
I hate down from anywhere State
Trying to intoxicate girls
to give them head after the party

B          C#m
And then I saw
               E
her standing there
           F#
With green eyes and
            B
long blond 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 I learned
 F#
some girls try too hard

Chorus:
B
  na na na
E
  na na na
C#m
  na na na
E
Some girls
try too hard
B
  na na na
E
  na na na
C#m
  na na na
E
Some girls
         B
try too hard
       E
to impress
         C#m
With the way
            E
that they dress
             B
With those things
           E
on their chests
        C#m
And the things
         E
they suggest to me

I couldn't believe what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping,
the games she was playing
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
How she's down with
the wise well-constructed disguise
Now I'd rather go dateless
than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup, her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I'd call her, but never would bother
Until I got turned down by another girl at a party

So when you see her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She won't be wearing underwear
And you'll discover
This girl's not the one
And she'll never be fun
You should just turn and run
Because you'll find out
that some girls try too hard

Chorus

(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
