Big Boys (demo)
E
I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very very, temporary
E
I shall walk (I shall walk)
Out of this place (out of this place)
I shall walk
A
Out on you
'Cause you go silly
If she's willing
B A E
Trying so hard to be like the big boys
G
So you take her to the pictures
Em
Trying to become a fixture
G
Inch by inch trying to reach her
Em
All the way through the second feature
C D
Worrying about your physical fitness
C D A E
Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..
E
I was caught in the suction
By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee
Stroking her vanity
E
I was stuck on a hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity
E
We can talk (we can talk)
Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)
A
We can talk but she'll get to you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones you've watched and waited
Found that they were overrated
B E A
She'll be the one - when the party's over
B E A
She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home
B E A
She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto
B E A
She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to
B E A
She'll be the one - who knows all your history
B E
She'll be the one -
A
So you can cross her off your list
B A
And you try so hard
B A
And you try so hard
B A
And you try so hard
E
To be like the big boys
