Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
A strange boy is weaving
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
A course of grace and havoc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
On a yellow skateboard
ch]D[/ch
Thru midday sidewalk traffic
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Just when I think he's foolish and childish
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
And I want him to be manly
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
I catch my fool and my child
ch]D[/ch
Needing love and understanding
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
What a strange strange boy
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He still lives with his family
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Even the war and the navy
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Couldn't bring him to maturity
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
He keeps referring back to school days
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
And clinging to his child
ch]G[/ch
Fidgeting and bullied
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
His crazy wisdom holding onto something wild
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
He asked me to be patient
ch]A[/ch
Well I failed
ch]Gsus2[/ch
"Grow up!" I cried
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
And as the smoke was clearing he said
ch]D[/ch
"Give me one good reason why"
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
What a strange strange boy
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He sees the cars as sets of waves
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Sequences of mass and space
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He sees the damage in my face
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
We got high on travel
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
And we got drunk on alcohol
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
See how that feeling comes and goes
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
Like the pull of moon on tides
ch]G[/ch
Now I am surf rising
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now parched ribs of sand at his side
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
What a strange strange boy
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I gave him clothes and jewelry
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
I gave him my warm body
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I gave him power over me
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
A thousand glass eyes were staring
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
In a cellar full of antique dolls
ch]G[/ch
I found an old piano
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And sweet chords rose up in waxed New England halls
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
While the boarders were snoring
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Gsus2[/ch
Under crisp white sheets of curfew
ch]G[/ch
We were newly lovers then
ch]Gsus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
We were fire in the stiff blue-haired house rules
