Verse 2:
B                         B7
Maybe my friends will say I’m overzealous
E               Em
Maybe I try too hard -Maybe she tries too hard-

But if I hadn’t earned a dollar

And if I failed to earn blue ribbon
            Baug
How could I ever be forgiven?

Tell me what love would still be given
