Intro

Acoustic Guitar:

Verse 1

Well she was precious like a flower

She grew wild, wild but innocent

A perfect prayer in a desperate hour

She was everything beautiful and different

 Stupid boy... you can't fence that in

Stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind

Chorus

 She laid her heart and soul right in your hands

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

 She never even knew she had a choice

 And that's what happens when the only voice

 She hears is telling her she can't

 Stupid boy

 Stupid boy

Verse 2

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

 She laid her heart and soul right in your hands

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

 She never even knew she had a choice

 And that's what happens when the only voice

 She hears is telling her she can't

Bridge

 You stupid boy

You always had to be right

 And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

Chorus

 She laid her heart and soul right in your hands

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans

 She never even knew she had a choice

 And that's what happens when the only voice

 She hears is telling her she can't

Verse 3

 You stupid boy

 Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy

It took a while for her to figure out she could run

 But when she did, she was long gone, long gone (fade out)
