[Verse]
G C D
I knew a young lover boy who was crazy from the start
G C D
He wasted all his energy to win a young girl’s heart
C D
But there was just no way
G Em
He’d get the time of day
C D G
No, she could never love a lover boy
[Verse]
G C D
He wanted to impress her in a way he could afford
G C D
So he grabbed his father’s six-string and taught himself some chords
C D
He thought he’d go far
G Em
If he could play guitar
C D G
But he was nothing but a lover boy
[Chorus]
C D
Lover Boy, you gave your heart away
G D/F# Em D
For a woman who just never loved your way
C D
You never got that far
G D/F# Em
But you still play guitar
C D G
So don’t give up on loving, Lover Boy
[Verse]
G C D
He was comfortable with changing a few little things
G C D
And let the rest of the talking come from the songs he sings
C D
But to get past that door
G Em
It would take so much more
C D G
He could not be who he truly was
[Verse]
G C D
Well he made up his mind that it was time to move on
G C D
But he still had his six-sting and original songs
C D
So he found a bar
G Em
Where he could play guitar
C D G
And find someone who could love a Lover Boy
[Chorus]
C D
Lover Boy, you threw your heart away
G D/F# Em D
For a woman who just never loved your way
C D
You never got that far
G D/F# Em
But you still play guitar
C D G
So don’t give up on loving, Lover Boy
[Chorus]
C D
Lover Boy, you threw your heart away
G D/F# Em D
For a woman who never even looked your way
C D
But you can still get far
G D/F# Em
Just keep on playing that guitar
C D
You’ll find someone who loves you
G D/F# Em
Don’t give up on love
C D G
You’ll find someone who loves you, Lover Boy
C D G
So don’t give up on loving, Lover Boy
C D G
So don’t give up on love, Lover Boy
