This Boy

Capo III

1. This boy wants to play

There's no time left today

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 alone

*: Well let's step outside

Let's go for a ride

Just for a while

No we won't get caught

Well that's what I thought, until we cried

R: I'm still here

B7

But it hasn't been easy

Emi Cmi

I'm sure that you had your reasons

I'm scared for this emotion

For years I've been holding it down

Cmi

For years I've been holding it down

2. This girl tries her best everyday

But it's all gone to waste 'cause there's no one around

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

'Till it's too dark for us to see

Well we'll make our way home

With mud on our clothes

She won't be pleased

R: I'm still here

B7

But it hasn't been easy

Emi Cmi

I'm sure that you had your reasons

I'm scared for this emotion

For years I've been holding it down

And I, love to forgive and forget

Emi Cmi

So I, try to put all this behind us

Just, know that my arms are wide open

The older I get, the more that I know

Cmi

Well it's time to let this go

I got to let it go (x4)

And I, love to forgive and forget

Emi Cmi

So I, try to put all this behind us

Just, know that my arms are wide open

The older I get, the more that I know

Well it's time to let this go
