C              Dm
Here I am again, the same old situation
Am                      F
Why does the guy thing have to be so complicated?
C                         Dm
I should’ve played it cool, instead I made a fool
Am                F
Oh, the things I do

Chorus:
           C             C+
'Cause I'm young and I'm dumb
      C6                    C7
I do stupid things when it comes to love
    F                         Fm
And even if I always end up crying
                                   C
Well, you can't blame a girl for trying
C           Dm              Am
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh
         F                       C
No, you can’t blame a girl for trying
            Dm              Am     F
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, no-oo.

I should've shut my mouth, I could've kept it quiet
I might have freaked him out 'cause I was so excited
But I just couldn't wait, I took a leap of faith
Oh, the things I say

Chorus:
'Cause I'm young and I'm dumb
I do stupid things when it comes to love
And even if I always end up crying
No, you can't blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you can't blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh, no

Am           G        F
And I think sometimes I tend
to be my own worst enemy
    Am     G       F
And maybe someday I’m gonna
catch a shooting star falling out of the blue
           G
Do what I do

And just as I'm giving up, my heart is palpitating
Here comes another one, it's so intoxicating
Being where I've been I know that in the end
I'll do it all again

Chorus:
'Cause I'm young and I'm dumb
I do stupid things when it comes to love
And even if I always end up crying
Well, love will find me, there ain't no denying
That you can't blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you can't blame a girl for trying
Mmm, uh-uh-uh-mmm-mmm
