[Intro:]
Acoustic Guitar:
G D A x2
[Verse 1:]
G D A
Well she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
G D A
Stupid boy... you can't fence that in
Stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind
[Chorus:]
G D A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
G D
She never even knew she had a choice
Bm A G
And that's what happens when the only voice
D A
She hears is telling her she can't
G D A
Stupid boy
G D A
Stupid boy
[Verse 2:]
G D A
So what makes you think you could take a life
G D A
And just push it, push it around
G D A
I guess to build yourself up so high
G D A
You had to take her and break her down
Well.....
[Chorus:]
G D A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
G D
She never even knew she had a choice
Bm A G
And that's what happens when the only voice
D A
She hears is telling her she can't
[Bridge:]
G Bm
You stupid boy
A
You always had to be right
G D A
And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive
[Guitar Solo:]
(G Bm A)
(G D A)
[Chorus:]
G D A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
G D
She never even knew she had a choice
Bm A G
And that's what happens when the only voice
D A
She hears is telling her she can't
[Verse 3:]
G D
You stupid boy
A G D A
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
G D A
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
G D A
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone (fade out)
