Intro:  
Acoustic Guitar:  
G5           D5        A5  

G5             D5                 A5  
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  
        G5   D5   A5  
Stupid boy... you can't fence that in  

Stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind  


       G5                D5                   A5  
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands  

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans  
           G5             D5  
She never even knew she had a choice  
           B5              A5            G5  
And that's what happens when the only voice  
                D5             A5  
She hears is telling her she can't  
                G5  D5  A5  
Stupid boy  
               G5  D5  A5  
Stupid boy  


G5                   D5                     A5  
So what makes you think you could take a life  
           G5       D5           A5  
And just push it, push it around  
G5            D5                   A5  
I guess to build yourself up so high  
             G5             D5       A5  
You had to take her and break her down  

Well.....  


       G5               D5                   A5  
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands  

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans  
           G5              D5  
She never even knew she had a choice  
           B5             A5              G5  
And that's what happens when the only voice  
                D5              A5  
She hears is telling her she can't  


              G5    D5  
You stupid boy  
A5  
You always had to be right  
             G5               D5               A5  
And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive  


( G5   D5    A5 ) x2  

       G5                D5                  A5  
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands  

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans  
            G5               D5  
She never even knew she had a choice  
           B5             A5             G5  
And that's what happens when the only voice  
                     D5         A5  
She hears is telling her she can't  


                G5 D5  
You stupid boy  
              A5                         G5  D5 A5  
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy  
G5           D5                       A5  
It took a while for her to figure out she could run  
              G5        D5   A5  
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone  (fade out)
