[Chords]
This picking can alternatively 
played as standard chords (G/F# 
coming from the standard
G fingering = 200003)

The D chord is sometimes combined or
 replaced by a Dsus4. To be 
consistent I notated only
the standard D.


[Intro]
G G/F# Em D  x4


[Verse 1]
C             G              D
 She was precious like a flower
          C     G            D
She grew wild, wild but innocent
C            G                
 A perfect prayer in a desperate 
    D
hour
        C           G          
She was everything beautiful and 
   D
different


[Pre-Chorus]
        C G  D
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
    C      G           D
Stupid boy, it's like holding back 
the wind


[Chorus]
     C                  G         
She laid her heart and soul right 
         D
in your hands

           C           G          
Then you stole her every dream and
               D
 crushed her plans
          C              G
She never even knew she had a 
choice, and
Em                     D         
 That's what happens when the 
   C                G             
only voice she hears is tellin' 
  D
her she can't
        C D
Stupid boy


[Verse 2]
C                G               
 What made you think you could 
        D
take her life
          C           G        D
And just push it and push it around?
    C                 G       D
I guess to build yourself up so high
            C             G     
You had to take her and break her 
   D
down


[Chorus]
           C                  G   
Well, she laid her heart and soul 
               D
right in your hands
           C               G      
Then you stole her every dream and
            D
 crushed her plans
          C              G
She never even knew she had a 
choice, and
Em                     D         
 That's what happens when the 
    C               G             
only voice she hears is tellin' 
  D
her she can't
        C Em
Stupid boy


[Post-Chorus]
D
 You always had to be right
           C                Em
And now you lost the only thing
           D                C G D
That ever made you feel alive, whoa
            C G D
You stupid boy


[Bridge]
C               G                
 It took a while for me to figure
    D
 out I could run
              C       D
And when I did I was long gone, long
 gone
G G/F# Em
            D         G     G/F# Em
You're the same old stupid boy
            D         G     G/F# 
You're the same old stupid boy
Em D G G/F# Em D



[Interlude]
C G D  x2


[Chorus]
          C              G
She never even knew she had a 
choice, and
Em                     D         
 That's what happens when the 
    C               G             
only voice she hears is tellin' 
  D
her she can't
            C G D    C G D
You stupid boy,  yeah


[Otro]
        C     D

            C

   D
