G              D               A
well she was precious like a flower
           G    D            A
she grew wild, wild but innocent
  G          D                 A
a perfect prayer in a desperate hour
           G          D              A
she was everything beautiful and different
          G D  A
stupid boy... you can't fence that in
         G     D          A
stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind


chorus:

      G                 D                    A
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
           G             D                       A
and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
            G            D
she never even knew she had a choice
      Bm                 A               G
and that's what happens when the only voice
                D         A        
she hears is telling her she can't
G   D   A
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...

**chorus**
             G  D
you stupid boy
 A 
you always had to be right
             G             D               A    
and now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel
 
alive

**chorus**

you stupid boy

oh, i'm the same old, same old stupid boy
G          D                     A                  
it took a while for her to figure out she could run
            G     D         A
but when she did, she was long gone, long gone
