Toy Boy by Mika
Toy Boy
D G
I’m a wind-up toy in an up-down world
A Asus4
If you leave me all alone, I’ll make a mess for sure
D G
I’ve a heart of gold in the smallest size
A Asus4
Leave me in the dark, you’ll never hear me cry
D G
More than an illustration
A Asus4
Points of articulation
D G
Come to life on a brass spring
A
Such a wonderful plaything
D G
It’s a cruel cross that I have to bear
A Asus4
If you come a little close I’m going to pull your hair
D G
More than just a toy in a patched blue suit
A Asus4
Hold me in your arms I’m just a boy like you
ETC...

[Verse 1]
G G/D
I'm a wind up toy
C C/G
In an up-down world
D D/A
If you leave me all alone
G G/D
I'll make a mess for sure
G G/D
I've a heart of gold
C C/G
In the smallest size
D D/A
Leave me in the dark
G G/D
You never hear me cry
[Chorus 1]
G G/D C C/G
More than an illustration
D D/A G G/D
Points of articulation
G G/D C C/G
Come to life on a brass spring
D D/A D7
Such a wonderful plaything
[Verse 2]
G G/D
It's a cruel cross
C C/G
That I have to bear
D D/A
If you come a little close
G G/D
I'm going to pull your hair
G G/D
More than just a toy
C C/G
In a patched blue suit
D D/A
Hold me in your arms
G G/D
I'm just a boy like you
G G/D
But your momma thought
C C/G
There was something wrong
D D/A
Didn't want you sleeping
G G/D
With a boy too long
G G/D
It's a serious thing
C C/G
In a grown-up world
D D/A
Maybe you'd be better
G G/D
With a Barbie girl
[Chorus 2]
G G/D C C/G
You knew that I adored ya
D D/A G G/D
But you left me in Georgia
G G/D C C/G
Toys are not sentimental;
D D/A D7
How could I be for rental?
[Verse 3]
G G/D
She's the meanest hag
C C/G
That has ever been
D D/A
Pulled out my insides
G G/D
With an old safety pin
G G/D
I'm the sorest sight
C C/G
Now I feel like trash
D D/A
Clothes are made of rags
G G/D
And they don't even match
G G/D
So she dressed me up
C C/G
As the man she loved
D D/A
And threw me in a box
G G/D
When she had had enough
G G/D
Now the light of day
C C/G
I no longer see
D D/A
She stuck her voodoo pins
G G/D
Where my eyes used to be
[Chorus 3]
G G/D C C/G
Accidentally tragic
D D/A G G/D
Victim of her black magic
G G/D C C/G
Had a boy once who loved me
D D/A D7
Now he's so afraid of me
[Verse 4]
G G/D
On a long lost day
C C/G
When you're grey and old
D D/A
You'll be there remembering
G G/D
Your old toy boy
G G/D
When your only son's
C C/G
Wondering what to be
D D/A
Tell him the story of
G G/D
A boy like me
[Outro]
