The Boy Never Stays

   Em                                   D
He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
       Em                           D
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
           Em                         D              C
He's the reason you love the smell of polo and peppermint

             Em                         D
He's the lips that taught you how to kiss
              Em                            D
He's the reason you know how to drive a stick
            Em             D            C
He's the last time you ever felt innocent

Chorus:
         Em                          C
It's a scene from a Saturday matinee
      Em                                    C
It's a song that remembers those summer days
   Em                    C              D
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
                 D
The boy never stays
     Em            D
And the love never goes

              Em                  D
He's the reason ferris wheels make you sad
          Em                     D
He's a box full of taped-up photographs
             Em                    D           C
He's the feeling that always feels like seventeen

           Em                     D
He's a name that you hardly ever hear
          Em                       D
He's a face that you haven't seen in years
            Em                D               C
That you meet up once in a while in your dreams

Chorus

          Em         D               C
You never fall quite the same again
             D
After the first time
              C
Forever ends

Chorus

               C
Oh the love never goes

            Em                              D
He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
                 Em                         D
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
