Am D
The boy who cried wolf
G
He don't cry wolf anymore
Am D
For one day he opened up his eyes
G
And the wolf was at the door
[Verse]
C D
And all his faithful hound dogs
Em
Couldn't chase the wolf away
Am D
For the boy cried 'Wolf' one too many times
Gm G
And now the real wolf came today
[Chorus]
C D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
G
Then the fairy tale is through
Am D
Fairy tales are funny little things
Gm G
'Less they're happening to you
[Verse]
Am D
The boy who cried love
G
He don't cry love anymore
Am D
The wolf of love opened up his heart
G
Left it bleeding on the floor
[Verse]
C D
And a thousand healing love songs
Em
Couldn't take the pain away
Am D
The boy did not know true love
Gm G
'Til love had gone away
[Chorus]
C D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
G
Then the fairy tale is through
Am D
Fairy tales are funny little things
Gm G
'Less they're happening to you
[Instrumental]
G Am D G
G Am D G
C D Em
Am D Gm G
[Verse]
Am D
Some live in houses made of straw
G
Some live in houses made of glass
Am D
Surrounding walls of brick and stone
G
They say, "I'm safe at home at last"
[Verse]
C D
When the wolf comes prowling late one night
Em
And he blows their safe house down
Am D
Nursery rhymes go running through their mind
Gm G
They lay curled up on the ground
[Chorus]
C D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
G
Then the fairy tale is through
Am D
Fairy tales are funny little things
Gm G
'Less they're happening to you
[Outro]
Am D
The boy who cried wolf
G D
He don't cry wolf anymore
