Stupid Boy

|G D |A |G D |A

[Verse 1:]
G             D                 A
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

[Chorus:]
       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
              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
         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
              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

[Solo]
G Bm A A
G D A A

[Chorus:]
       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
              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)

(Repeat till fade)
