Be Gentle With Me - The Boy Least Likely To
G C
Staring up into the solar system
C G
All the stars are fixed up in the sky
G C
I just want to sparkle for a moment
C G
Before I just fizzle out and die
C
I'm happy because I'm stupid
Dsus2
Scared of spiders scared of flying
C
If I wasn't so happy
D
I wouldn't be so scared of dying
G
So just be gentle with me
G Gsus4 G
I'm not as young as I was
G
And I'll be gentle with you
G Gsus4 C
I'm not as brave as I thought
D C
Cause my heart gets broken so easily
Am Dsus2
So just be gentle be gentle with me
G C
Wide awake waiting like a target
C G
Listening for things I cannot see
G C
Insects flutter up against my window
C G
I don't like the way they look at me
C
I guess I've always needed
Dsus2
To be needed by someone
C
It's such a comforting feeling
D
Being under someone's thumb
G
So just be gentle with me
G Gsus4 G
And if I am ever mean
G
And I'll be gentle with you
G Gsus4 C
I never mean to be mean
D C
Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree
Am
Just be gentle be gentle be gentle

Oh yeah

Oh yeah
D
Oh Yeah

When I want to so I never do
Am
Because I'm mental be gentle be gentle
Am
Just be gentle be gentle be gentle
Am
And I'll be gentle be gentle be gentle
