[Verse]
G#6add4I see the pictures on the wall
C#6add4The time, the place, I don't recall
G#6/CI can't swear I was therF#6/A#e at all, or if I'm here now
G#6add4I hear the way you talk to me
C#6add4It's like you're asking silently
G#6/CTo make it like it used F#6/A#to be, but I just don't know how
[Chorus]
G#6add4'cause I C#6add4ain't your boy
G#6/CI ain't your boyF#6/A#  
C#6add4But I sleep in his bed
G#And I sleep with his wife
C#6add4I know all of his friends
G#I inhabit his life
[Verse]
G#6add4I watch him on the videos
C#6add4The shaggy hair, the funny clothes
G#6/CThe naked lip beneath thF#6/A#e nose, a muscle memory
G#6add4You wonder loudly where he is
C#6add4And why he never reappears
G#6/CI try to tell you through the teF#6/A#ars, I haven't seen that kid for years
[Chorus]
G#6add4And I aiC#6add4n't your boy
G#6/CI ain't your boyF#6/A#  
[Outro]
C#6add4And you're never gonna get him back
G#Nothing's gonna bring him back
C#6add4But if you narrow your blue eyes
G#I could be him, from way back when
G#6add4And I won't mind, there is no shame G#if you kiss me and call me his name
