When I Was a Boy

I won't forget when Peter (G)Pan came to my house,

took my (C69)hand.

I said I was a boy.

when I'm (G)glad he didn't (Dsus4)check.

(Gsus2)And I learned to fly;

I learned to (G)fight.

I lived a whole life in one (C69)night.

We saved each other's lives out on the pirate deck.

And (D)And I remember that night (Bm7)when leavin' a late night with some (D)friends and I hear somebody tell me it's not safe;

someone should (Dsus4)help me.

I need to find me a nice man to walk me (Gsus2)home.

When I was a boy,

(G)I scared the pants off of my (C69)mom,

climbed what I could climb upon.

that I (Dsus4)walked.

(Gsus2)And I don't know how I survived.

(G)I guess I knew the tricks that all (C69)implants boys to put in;

knew. they got implants to remove.

And you can walk me

home, ting (Dsus4)but I was a boy,

too.

(Gsus2)I was a kid that would would (G)like,

just a small boy on her (C69)bike,

rid when ing topless.

Yeah, when I (G)never cared who (Dsus4)saw.

And (Gsus2)My neighbor came outside to say,

(G)The "Get your shirt."

I said, "No (C69)way.

It's catch the last time;

I'm not breaking any law."

And, (D)and now I'm in this clothing (Bm7)store,

a and the signs say less is (D)more.

More that's tight means more to see,

me more for them, not more for (Dsus4)me.

me. And That can't help me climb a tree ten seconds (Gsus2)flat.

When I was a boy,

(G)my see that picture?

That was (C69)me, grassstained shirt and dusty knees.

that I (Dsus4)walked.

(Gsus2)And I know things have gotta change.
