VERSE I
Cadd9 E
When you’re young you hope to be
Em G
Menacing in vanity
Cadd9 E
6 feet tall, maybe more
Em G
Bigger now than before
Cadd9 E
They said it was leaving me
Em G
The magic was leaving me
Cadd9 E
I don’t think so
Em G
I don’t think so
CHORUS I
Cadd9 E
They said it was leaving
Em G
They said it with joy
Cadd9 E
Now I could make this last forever
Em G
And be a boy, and be a boy
VERSE II :
Cadd9 E
When you’re young you hope to see
Em G
And carve your name into the street
Cadd9 E
And bounce your words off satellites
Em G
That keep the wasted up tonight
Cadd9 E
They said it was leaving me
Em G
The magic was leaving me
Cadd9 E
I don’t think so
Em G
I don’t think so

Cadd9 E
They said it was leaving
Em G
They said it with joy
Cadd9 E
Now I could make this last forever
Em G
And be a boy, and be a boy

Make sure you talk to strangers
Em G
And be a boy, and be a boy
