What's a Boy to Do
by Mat Kearney
Chords:
Asus2 (577600)
alt: (x02200)
C#m7 (x46600)
Bsus4 (x24400)
Aadd9 (x77600)
A fantastic and simple song...the tempo starts slow and picks up as it goes. This
is how I like to play it. To make for easier playing you can use the alternate
version of Asus2 throughout (I believe Mat himself does this live sometimes). I
think the fuller one sounds better, but both give the same effect. Happy playing :)
VERSE:
I'm Asus2sure that I'mC#m7 moving to St LoBsus4uis
ThreAsus2e long years wonderC#m7ing here in New YorBsus4k City
I guAsus2ess I'm looking for the C#m7right way to do Bsus4this
I gueAsus2ss I'm looking for the rC#m7ight things to call pBsus4retty
PRE-CHORUS:
YounAsus2g boys playing in the paC#m7rk turning their backs to Bsus4take a shot
You Asus2know I'll stay sharp around hereC#m7 'cause they're stoning and lBsus4eaving type
It's the kAsus2ind of love that comes and gC#m7oes when there's company cBsus4oming around
CHORUS:
Asus2What's a boy toC#m7 do who knows no man noBsus4w?
Asus2What's a boy toC#m7 do who knows no man noBsus4w?
VERSE:
Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them
And I've been looking round for someone to tell me who I am
He kept saying I was to young to finish a fight
I'd die each time they came I never got to draw my knife
PRE-CHORUS:
Well it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in
And angel is crying I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away
Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone
CHORUS:
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
BRIDGE 1:
Asus2(alt) C#m7 Bsus4
Well I'll stack all my books in perfect rows
Asus2(alt) C#m7 Bsus4
From the biggest down to the smallest ones
Asus2(alt) C#m7 Bsus4
And I buy all the perfect clothes
Asus2(alt) C#m7 Bsus4
Bullet proof and black, where I look like a son...
PRE-CHORUS:
Well it was just a rain night at his house
A bottle spinning around the room
And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom halfway rush of blood
And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark
CHORUS:
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
BRIDGE 2:
Asus2(alt)
It's all quiet for the first time
With nBsus4o voices left to fall I saw
a boy C#m7at the bottom of the bridge
His caAadd9r was left there on the top
Asus2(alt)
It's four o'clock in the morning
Didn'tBsus4 need to be like this
There'sC#m7 a white sheet left to cover up
What sAadd9hould have been a holy kiss
It's Asus2not like those days
C#m7It's not like I'm scareBsus4d of you
CHORUS:
What's the sAsus2on of man and aC#m7 boy to do?Bsus4
What's the sAsus2on of man and aC#m7 boy to youBsus4?
