Standard (EADGBE)
I have paid all my dues
so I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
for I was just a boy
I didn't know how to pay
I worked hard and failed
now all I can say is
I threw it all away
I was just a boy
giving it all away
ref:
sail away, sail away
Ohh, and I know better now
I know better now, giving it all away
Ohh, and I know better now
I know better now, giving it all away
(just a boy, giving it all away)
When out in the world
to much for my nerves
only myself to blame
I was just a boy
nobody else to blame
I have done all I can
now it is out of my hands
stand on my head and say
I was just a boy
giving it all away
