Cadd9Cadd9           E MajorE
When you’re young you hope to be
E minorEm       G+G
Menacing in vanity
Cadd9Cadd9    E MajorE
6 feet tall, maybe more
E minorEm        G+G
Bigger now than before

They said it was leaving me

And be a boy, and be a boy

E minorEm                G+G
And carve your name into the street
Cadd9Cadd9               E MajorE
And bounce your words off satellites
E minorEm                G+G
That keep the wasted up tonight

Cadd9Cadd9         E MajorE
They said it was leaving me

Cadd9Cadd9                  E MajorE
Now I could make this last forever
        E minorEm        G+G
And be a boy, and be a boy
Cadd9Cadd9          E MajorE
There’s safety in the jungle
E minorEm             G+G
If you treat it like a toy
Cadd9Cadd9              E MajorE
Make sure you talk to strangers

And be a boy, and be a boy
