This Boy

This boy wants to play, there’s no time left to day.

It’s a shame ’cause he has to go home.

This boy’s got to work, got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all a lone.

But let’s step out side, let’s go for a ride just for a while.

No, we won’t get caught.

Well, that’s what I thought un til we cried.

I’m still here

but it (D7)has n’t been ea sy.

I’m sure

that (Ebm)you had your rea sons.

I’m scared

of (D7)all this e mo tion.

For (Gm)years I’ve been hold ing it down.

For (Ebm)years I’ve been hold ing it down.

This girl tries her best ev ’ry day but it’s all gone to waste ’cause there’s no one a round.

This girl, she can draw, she can paint.

Likes to dance, she can skate, now she don’t make a sound.

We’ll play in the park let’s till it’s too dark for us to see.

Well, make our way home with mud on our clothes, she won’t be pleased.

I’m still here
