INTRO
 Hm7   Hm6  G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
  Hm7As the rain comes down,  Hm6upon this sad  sweet earth
G^7                       F#(#5)7   F#79
  I lie awake at night and - think about me
  Hm7All those usual things,   Hm6like what a fool I've been
G^7                       F#(#5)7  F#79           Hm7   Hm6  F#(#5)7 F#79
  I curse the awfull way  - that I let you slip away.
  Hm7For what was forged in loveHm6,  is now cooling down
G^7                       F#(#5)7              F#79
  With only myself to blame   for playing that stupid game
  Hm7I thought I need only Hm6call and you would run
G^7                                  F#(#5)7     F#79
  But that day you never showed honey   -   Well I sure learned.
G^7                         D^7
  That it seemes I need you more each day
G^7                        D^7
  Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
  Now it's Hm7far too late - and I Hm6lost this time,
G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79     Hm7  G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Hm7  
  Like a Boy  who  cried wolf,   like a boy  who  cried wolf.
G^7                   D^7
  And yes I know it's far too late
     G^7          D^7
  To ever win you back
     G^7                 D^7
  No tale of nightmare's at my gate
        C^7               G^7          F#(#5)7 F#79 Hm7  
  Could make you turn, my lost concern.
  Hm7And now the night falls down,  Hm6upon my selfish soul
G^7                      F#(#5)7      F#79
  I sit alone and wonder,   where did I  go  wrong?
  Hm7It always worked before   Hm6you kept the wolf from my door
G^7                                  F#(#5)7   F#79
  But one day you never showed honey,   now I'm not so sure
G^7                        D^7
  That it seems I need you more each day
G^7                        D^7
  Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
  Now it's Hm7far too late, and I've Hm6lost this time
G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79     Hm7  G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Hm7  
  Like a Boy  who  cried wolf,   like a boy  who  cried wolf.
