Lyrics

Well, she was (Eb5)pre cious like a flow er.

She grew wild,

(Eb)wild, but in no cent.

A per fect (Eb5)prayer in a des p’rate hour,

she was (Ab)ev ’ry thing (Eb)beau ti ful and (Bb)dif f’rent.

Stu pid boy,

(Bb)you can’t fence that in.

Stu pid boy,

it’s like hold in’ back the wind.

She let her heart and soul right in your hands.

And you stole her ev ’ry dream and you crushed her plans.

She nev er (Ab)e ven knew she had a choice and (Cm)that’s what hap pens when the on ly voice she hears is (Eb)tell ing her she can’t.

Stu pid boy,

stu pid boy.

So, what made you (Eb)think that you could take a life

and just (Ab)push it, (Eb)push it a round?

I guess you built your (Eb)self up so high,

you had to take her and (Eb)break her down,

oh.

Well, she let her heart and soul right in your hands.

And you stole her ev ’ry dream and you crushed her plans.

She nev er (Ab)e ven knew she had a choice.

And (Cm)that’s what hap pens when the on ly voice she hears is (Eb)tell ing her she can’t.

Well, you stu pid boy.

Oh, you al ways had to be right, but now you’ve (Ab)lost the on ly thing that ev er (Bb)made you feel a live.

oh.

Well, she let You stu pid boy.

Oh, I’m the (Bb)same old, same old stu pid boy.

It took a (Eb)while for her to fig ure out she could run, but when she did,

she (Eb)was

(Bb)long gone, long gone.
