This Boy

This boy wants to (Eb)play, there's no time left today.

It's a shame 'cause he has to go home.

(Gm)This boy's got to work, got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone.

(Cm)But let's step outside,

(Eb)let's go for a ride just for a (F)while.

(Cm)No, we won't get (Eb)caught.

Well, that's what I thought until we (F)cried.

I'm still here

but it (D7)hasn't been easy.

And I (Bb)love

to (D7)forgive and forget.

So I'll (Gm)try to put (Ebm)all this behind us.

(Ebm)Well, it's time to let this go.

I got to let it go.

I got to let it go.

I'm still here

(Ebm)And I love to (D7)forgive and forget so I'll
