Stupid Boy    (video)    (intro)

 

    G - D - A (2x)

 

    G                            D                    A

1.     Well, she was precious like a flower,

                     G      D                 A

    she grew wild, wild but innocent.

G                    D                                A

    A perfect prayer in a desperate hour,

                   G                 D                 A

    she was everything beautiful and different.

 

                 G    - D   A

    Stupid boy,        you can't fence that in,

                 G    - D               A

    stupid boy,         it's like holdin' back the wind.

 

        G                            D                        A

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands,

                 G                       D                                         A

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 she hears

    D                      A

is telling her she can't.

 

      - - - -    G     - D - A                  G      - D - A

    Stupid boy !                  Stupid boy !

 

          - G                                D                               A

2. 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

    And you stupid boy,        oh,         you always had to be right,

                          G                   D                      A                     

    and now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel

       A - G - D - A

    ali.................ve.        + G - Bm - A

 

        G                            D                        A

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands,

                G                       D                                          A

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 she hears

    D                      A

is telling her she can't.

                 G    - D - A

    stupid boy.

 

    G                    D                                  - A

3.      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. - - -
