[Verse 1]
D#m          B      C#         D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m          B      C#         D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m          B           C#             D#m
My heart overflows and I love him he knows that.
D#m          B            C#
Where was my boy back then?

D#m       B                C#             D#m
Did you stay in the city last night?
D#m        B           C#            D#m
Or did you find a good evening flight?
D#m          B            C#                D#m
From all the stupid folks stuck in your life.
D#m          B             C#
Where was my boy last night?

D#m              B          C#         D#m
Half of what you tell me cannot be true.
D#m           B            C#            D#m
If most of it is, I didn’t follow through.
D#m                  B            C#         D#m
See, I promised your mom I’d look out for you.
D#m          B           C#
Where was my boy hitherto?

[Chorus]
B          C#
Oh, by the reigns.
B          C#
Half of us sane.
B          C#            D#m B C#
Oh, by the reigns. Yeahhh

[Verse 2]
D#m          B      C#         D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m          B      C#         D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m          B           C#             D#m
My heart overflows and I love him he knows that.
D#m          B            C#
Where was my boy back then?

D#m   B         C#          D#m
I was nine when you were ten
D#m           B          C#     D#m
You would disappear with Marilyn
D#m     B          C#         D#m
I would call and I call again.
D#m          B            C#
Where was my boy back then?

D#m                      B                 C#               D#m
Now, what do I tell your mother, I haven’t seen you in weeks.
D#m               B                C#       D#m
“I get him on the phone and he hardly speaks.”
          D#m          B               C#          D#m
He says, “Sweet little Donovan, you’re far too meek.”
D#m          B            C#
What is this life he seeks?

[Chorus]
B          C#
Oh, by the reigns.
B          C#
Half of us sane.
B          C#           D#m B C#
Oh, by the reigns. Reign

Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m          B           C#             D#m
My heart overflows and I love him he knows that.
