Capo:5
Gwell she was prDecious like a flAower
she grew wiGld, wDild but innocAent
a Gperfect praDyer in a desperate Ahour
she was eveGrything beaDutiful and diffAerent
stupid boyG..D. yAou can't fence that in
stupid boGy... iDt's like hoAldin' back the wind
chorus:
she laGid her heart and sDoul right in your hanAds
and you stoGle her every dDream and you crushed her Aplans
she never evGen knew she hDad a choice
and thBmat's what happens wAhen the only voiGce
she hears is telDling her sAhe can't
GstupDid bAoy
stupid boy
so what makes you think you could take a life
and just push it, push it around
i guess to build yourself up so high
you had to take her and break her down
well...

and now you lGost the only tDhing that ever mAade you feel

Git took a wDhile for her to figure Aout she could run
but when she Gdid, Dshe was loAng gone, long gone

G D A

well she was precious like a flower

G D A

she grew wild, wild but innocent

a perfect prayer in a desperate hour

she was everything beautiful and different

stupid boy... you can't fence that in

G D A

stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind

G D A

she laid her heart and soul right in your hands

G D A

and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

G D

she never even knew she had a choice

Bm A G

and that's what happens when the only voice

D A

she hears is telling her she can't

G D A

stupid boy

so what makes you think you could take a life

and just push it, push it around

i guess to build yourself up so high

you had to take her and break her down

well...

**chorus**

you stupid boy

you always had to be right

and now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel

alive

it took a while for her to figure out she could run

G D A

but when she did, she was long gone, long gone
