When you're young you hope to be

Menacing in vanity
Dm F
6 feet tall, maybe more

Bigger now than before

They said it was leaving me
Am C
The magic was leaving me
Dm F
I don't think so
Am C
I don't think so
Dm F
They said it was leaving
Am C
They said it went on
Dm F
Now I could make this last forever
Am C
And be a boy, and be a boy
Dm F
When you're young you hope to see
Am C
And carve your name into the street
Dm F
Bout your words of satellites
Am C
That keep the wasted up tonight

Am C
I don't think so
Dm F
They said it was leaving
Am C

Now I could make this last forever
Am C
And be a boy, and be a boy
Dm F
There's safety in the jungle
Am C
If you treat it like a toy
Dm F
Make sure you talk to strangers
Am C
And be a boy, and be a boy
Be a boy
