Band: Little Feat
Song: Don’t Try So Hard
Album: Shake Me Up
Heart don’t try so hard this time
[A/C#]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
She’s [A/C#]just another
thing that we can [D/E]learn to live with
out
We were caught up in that fiery [D/F#]passion of the moment
[G/A]
Hoping that [G/A]love was here to
stay
It looked like true romance, [D/F#]well worth taking a chance
[D/E]Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.
repeat intro
I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction
[A/C#]Manifest it
self in my con
fusion.
I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her
[A/C#]haughty dispo
sition made me [D/E]lose my
way.
I must admit I spent a [D/F#]fine short moment
[G/A]fighting to take con
trol, not [G/A]willing to take that
chance.
I thought I couldn’t let go. [D/F#] Sentimental fool, you know
[D/E]A casualty of
big ro
mance.
[A/C#] H
eart, don’t try so h
ard this t
ime.
There’s a
nother lover [A/C#]waiting
’round a[D/E]nother parad
igm.
These [A/C#]tears we cry are
just a waste of
water, don’t you
know
We got to
learn to see when [A/C#]something’s
finally go[D/E]ne
and just let it
go.
Seem like every time you find the [D/F#]real thing
[G/A] First thing you
know, [G/A] picking yourself up
off the floor
Seem like you just get started [D/F#] then you’re first-degree downhearted
[D/E] Next thing you hear is the
slamming of the
door
[A/C#]
Heart, don’t try so
hard this
time.
There’s a
nother lover w[A/C#]aiting ‘
round a[D/E]nother parad
igm.
These [A/C#]tears we cry are
just a waste of
water, don’t you
know
We got to
learn to see when [A/C#]something’s
finally
Say good-bye and keep on walking
[A/C#]
Don’t try so
hard this
time.
There’s a
nother lover [A/C#]waiting ‘r
ound a[D/E]nother parad
igm.
These [A/C#]tears we cry are
just a waste of
water, don’t you
know
We got to
learn to [A/C#]see when
something’s finally [D/E]gone
and just let it
go.
