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


[Verse 2]
C                G                       D
 What made you think you could 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        D
You had to take her and break her down


[Chorus]
           C                  G                  D
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
           C               G                  D
Then you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
          C              G
She never even knew she had a choice, and
Em                     D             C               G               D
 That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' 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                    D
 It took a while for me to figure 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# Em D G G/F# Em D
You're the same old stupid boy


[Interlude]
C G D  x2


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


[Outro]
        C     D
Stupid boy, yeah
            C                         D
You're the same old, same old stupid boy
