Boy chords by Thomas Oliver

[Verse]

      G                        F                   C            G
I was fifteen years old when I first ran away from home
      F                       C                           G
I had six beers inside me, a skateboard and one set of clothes
      G                           F                 C            G
I was never gonna last long, cos hell I was just a boy
             F                        C             G
And now I'm older and I'm drunker and I still skateboard (Everyday, yeah)


[Chorus]

Em    D                   C     Em
Which day did I become a man?
Em          D                C
Was it the first time that I ran?

[Verse]

      G                      F                C            G
I was sixteen years old when I first loved a girl
          F                          C                   G
I still remember what it felt like, and just how much it hurt
         G                            F                   C            G
When I couldn't make her want me, so matter how close we were
             F                        C                       G
And I don't seem to get hurt anymore, maybe that's because of her?


[Chorus]

Em    D              C       Em
What made me into a man?
Em    D                 C     Em
Was it love I couldn't have?
Em    D              C          G
Which day did I become a man?


[Bridge]

       Bb          F
Have I ever even changed?
      Bb             F
Cos I still feel the same.
      Bb               F                C
Maybe manhood's just a simple numbers game


[Verse]

      G                      F                C            G
I was nineteen years old when I first got my face kicked in
          F                          C                   G
Well they robbed me and they stole my things and left me on the road
      G                      F                C            G
I was just a little different inside me from that day on
          F                          C                   G
And though I don't like to admit it now, I don't take shit from anyone


[Chorus]

Em     D            C      Em
Was I turned into a man
    D                 C        Em
By cold bare-knuckled hands?
       D                 C       Em
Which day did I become a man?
       D              C         Em
Can I write it on my hand?
       D                       C          Em
Is it something that somebody planned?
      D                   C
Which day did I become a man?
