I Want to be the Boy to Warm Your Mother’s Heart
(I Had to bunch the title together to make it fit)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(In the first verse there is no guitar, but I put it there anyways)
DI want to be the boy to warm your motCher's heart
I'm so scGared to take you away
DI tried to win her over right froCm the start
But somethGing always got in the way
DWe've been sitting in your backyard for hoCurs
But she woGn't even come out and say hi
DWhile my mother baked a little caCke for you
And even dreGaded when you said goodbye
FWhat kind of cartwheels do I have to pGull?
What kind of joke should I lay on her nDow?
FI'm inclined to go finish high schoGol
Just to make her notice that I'm aroAund
Interlude:
D C G F X2
DWell nothing I come up with seems to woCrk
It feels like eGverything I say is a lie
DAnd never have I felt like sCuch a jerk
I'm afrGaid to even open my eyes
DBecause I really don't want her to jCudge me
I want hGer to really know who I am
DAnd then, and only then will she loCve me
Well at leaGst that was the plan
FIf ever a boy needed a holidGay
If ever a girl needed someone to hoDld
FI just hope I don't act the same wGay
By the time that I get that oAld

DI never said I was the heir to a fortCune
I never claGimed to have any looks
DBut these kind of things must be impoCrtant
Because someGbody ripped out my page
In your telephone bAook
