Bayside - Boy: chords

Cm        G
He can't make sense
    Cm
of this He's just
     G#   G/B
too normal   This
G
place is too scary
Cm        G
He's so scared that
       Cm      G
he'll miss It keeps
        G#   G/B
him in hiding   And
G
restless and wanting

What if for one minute
He's given a chance
And he does something brilliant?
But he'd rather not know
'Cause walls protect him
His bedroom's a prison

Chorus:
D#  Gm       G#
Now is your chance
    D#     D#

     Gm       G#

Cm
If he took his
G          Cm
time to prepare
         G
Stepped out of his
G#   G/B G
shell    Blows an
          Cm
addiction   Such
   G          Cm
a comforting place
   G         G#  G/B
A common mistake
    G             G# G
A dry wishing well

Chorus

      G#
So Go on give
Cm        A#    D#
up you'll never win

G#           B
Oh what a mistake
       Gm
He is charcoal within
         Cm
He could never direct
    G#
by them He stands on
      B           D#
the stage With a grin
G#
But he drops on his
 B            Gm
knees And is waiting
    A#       Cm
for anything he can
believe in He's
G#
lost he just wants
      G#m
to be ordinary
