Shy Boy
by: J.D. McPherson
Verse 1:
BB
This thing trips on the shortest of lips
BB
And when the winter wind is blowing cold
BB
I got a big old heart
BB
One malicious remark just might hit me like a lightning bolt
Chorus:
D MajorD BB
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
D MajorD BB
I carry such a heavy load
D MajorD BB F#F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
Verse 2:
BB
I'm headed to the wall
BB
At the top of the steps feeling like a smoking gun
BB
Talking to the voices that don't talk back
BB
It's you and me that I'm running from
Chorus:
D MajorD BB
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
D MajorD BB
I carry such a heavy load
D MajorD BB F#F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
Verse 3:
BB
A augmentedA little baby cries out when he meets the world
BB
The new day fears a setting sun
BB
Talking to strangers always scared me to death and now here I am talking to one
Chorus:
D MajorD BB
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
D MajorD BB
I carry such a heavy load
D MajorD BB F#F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
Verse 4:
BB
Can you truly take this fear away?
I keep it under lock and key
BB
What if I make a mistake? I might not know what to say
BB
Why do you put this burden on me?
Chorus:
D MajorD BB
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
D MajorD BB
I carry such a heavy load
D MajorD BB F#F# BB
