Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

well she was precious like a flower

 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

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

Chorus

 she laid her heart and soul right in your hands

 and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

 she never even knew she had a choice

 and that's what happens when the only voice

 she hears is telling her she can't

stupid boy

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...

alive

you stupid boy

oh, i'm the same old, same old stupid boy

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

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