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
