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?
