Verse 1:
A                   D         E         A    D  E
My friends tell me she’ll be back some day.
A                  D       E    A          D  E
Until then, I'll have to find a way.
D              E            A               F#m
I've tried so very hard to be someone she'd fall in love with.
D          E                 A                  F#m
I cry my eyes out. She's no good, it's true, and now I know it.
D                    E                A     G      A     G     (with riff 1)
I guess she's just a crazy, mixed-up kid.


Verse 2:
A           D         E    A             D  E
Everybody says she'll come around.
A                    D      E        A       D  E
Until she does, you know I won't be found.
D               E          A                F#m
I've tried so very hard to be someone she'd fall in love with.
D          E                  A                  F#m
I cry my eyes out. She's no good, it's true, and now I know it.
D                     E               A     G      A     G     (with riff 1)
I guess she's just a crazy, mixed-up kid.


BRIDGE:
G           E           G            E
   I won't compromise.  I won't look in her eyes.
F            D                F                    D
   It seems unfair.     That girls like her don't even care.


Verse 3:
A                    D        E         A   D  E
My friends tell me she’ll be back some day.
A                  D      E     A       D  E

D             E               A             F#m
It hurts to love a girl when she don't even wanna know you.
D                     E               A     G      A     G    (with riff 1)

A         G         (with Riff 1)
Mixed-up kid.
Mixed-up kid.      (repeat and fade)
