VERSE:
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
I''m sure that I''m moving to St Louis
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
Three long years wondering here in New York City
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
I guess I''m looking for the right way to do this
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
I guess I''m looking for the right things to call pretty
PRE-CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
Young boys playing in the park turning their backs to take a shot
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
You know I''ll stay sharp around here ''cause they''re stoning and leaving type
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
It''s the kind of love that comes and goes when there''s company coming around
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
What''s a boy to do who knows no man now?
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
What''s a boy to do who knows no man now?
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
Bsus4
With no voices left to fall I saw
C#m7
a boy at the bottom of the bridge
Aadd9
His car was left there on the top
Asus2(alt)
It''s four o''clock in the morning
Bsus4
Didn''t need to be like this
C#m7
There''s a white sheet left to cover up
Aadd9
What should have been a holy kiss
Asus2
It''s not like those days
C#m7 Bsus4
It''s not like I''m scared of you
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
What''s the son of man and a boy to do?
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4
