Intro:
G           D        A

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

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

You always had to be right

And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

She never even knew she had a choice
           Bm             A             G

You stupid boy

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

But when she did, she was long gone, long gone  (fade out)
