[Intro]
Em B7 F C Cm G G
[Verse 1]
Em B7 F C
I remember being told I wasn’t good enough for him
C Cm G G
and that he was bound to let me go
Em B7 F C
now I believed that he was for real and it wasn’t just a show
C Cm G G
but he disagreed and he was sure to let me know
[Chorus]
C G Am F
and so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand
C G Am F
alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
C E Am D C E
oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh
[Interlude]
Em B7 F C C Cm G G
[Verse 2]
Em B7 F C
does he remember being told he could have so much more than me?
C Cm G G
that’s the question everyone will pose
Em B7
with his piercing green eyes and the hazelnut hair
F C
and a sunshine smile of gold
C Cm G G
I cannot compete with them, and he knows
[Chorus]
C G Am F
and so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand
C G Am F
alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
C E Am D C E
oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh
[Bridge]
Em B7 F C
but it was his fault, no, I did not do anything wrong
C Cm G G
I was prepared to love him with all of my heart
Em B7 F C
yes, he’s the one who missed out on me and though I can’t say he’s wrong
C Cm G G
I was hoping I could get a little more that being left alone
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
and so it goes, the story of a boy who was left to stand
D A Bm G
alone, when he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
D F# Bm E D F#
oh, oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be, mmh
