[Verse]
G#6add4
I see the pictures on the wall
C#6add4
The time, the place, I don't recall
G#6/C                   F#6/A#
I can't swear I was there at all, or if I'm here now
 
G#6add4
I hear the way you talk to me
C#6add4
It's like you're asking silently
G#6/C                   F#6/A#
To make it like it used to be, but I just don't know how
 
[Chorus]
G#6add4 C#6add4
'cause I ain't your boy
G#6/C                   F#6/A#
I ain't your boy
 
C#6add4
But I sleep in his bed
G#
And I sleep with his wife
C#6add4
I know all of his friends
G#
I inhabit his life
 
[Verse]
G#6add4
I watch him on the videos
C#6add4
The shaggy hair, the funny clothes
G#6/C                   F#6/A#
The naked lip beneath the nose, a muscle memory
G#6add4
You wonder loudly where he is
C#6add4
And why he never reappears
G#6/C                           F#6/A#
I try to tell you through the tears, I haven't seen that kid for years
 
[Chorus]
G#6add4 C#6add4
And I ain't your boy
G#6/C                           F#6/A#
I ain't your boy
 
[Outro]
C#6add4
And you're never gonna get him back
G#
Nothing's gonna bring him back
C#6add4
But if you narrow your blue eyes
G#
I could be him, from way back when
G#6add4                            G#
And I won't mind, there is no shame if you kiss me and call me his name
