[Intro]
G C G C G C G C G
GWell I'm the boy who cried wolf
CAnd I know I lied in the past
DLast night I saw his Cyellow eyes shining in the darkG  
GYeah I know I spawn tales with his voice
CAnd I open my mouth too fast
DLast night I saw hCis footprints in the pathG  
GI could Dswim Cevery sea, south pole to northG  
GBut I kDnow IC'll only ever be the boy who cGried wolfC  
[Interlude]
G C G
GWell I'm shepherds only son
CAnd I know what a joke I've become
DI have a honest heart but CI have lies on my tongue
GI don't know how this started where it came from
GYou have no reason and I have no proof
CBut this time I swear, I'm tellin the truth
DI saw that olCd wolf from tail to tooth
And I know hGe's hungry and he's coming down too
Where DI could swim Gevery sea from souCth pole to northG  
I coDuld climb Gevery tree Cscale every coarse
GWell I can onDly tell the Ctruth from this day forthEm  Gm  
GBut I knDow I'll Cever be the boy who cried wolfG  
COoooh oh
Oh I'm Dthe boy who cGried wolf
COh I'm Dthe boy who cGried..
