                   Stupid Boy 








Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
Key: Ab
 
[Intro:]
|G D |A |G D |A
 
[Verse 1:]
G             D                 A
Well she was precious like a flower
           G   D             A
She grew wild, wild but innocent
G           D                    A
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
         G          D             A
She was everything beautiful and different
        G   D  A
Stupid boy... you can't fence that in
        G   D            A
Stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind
 
[Chorus:]
       G                D                   A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
         G                D                   A
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
           G             D
She never even knew she had a choice
     Bm                   A            G
And that's what happens when the only voice
              D           A
She hears is telling her she can't
        G  D  A
Stupid boy
        G  D  A
Stupid boy
 
[Verse 2:]
G                   D                     A
So what makes you think you could take a life
           G       D       A
And just push it, push it around
G                   D             A
I guess to build yourself up so high
            G             D         A
You had to take her and break her down
Well.....
 
[Chorus:]
       G                D                   A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
         G                D                   A
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
           G             D
She never even knew she had a choice
     Bm                   A            G
And that's what happens when the only voice
              D           A
She hears is telling her she can't
 
[Bridge:]
            G    Bm
You stupid boy
A
You always had to be right
             G               D             A
And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive
 
[Solo]
G Bm A A
G D A A
 
[Chorus:]
       G                D                   A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
         G                D                   A
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
           G             D
She never even knew she had a choice
     Bm                   A            G
And that's what happens when the only voice
              D           A
She hears is telling her she can't
 
[Verse 3:]
                G D
You stupid boy
              A                         G  D A
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
G           D                       A
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
              G        D   A
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone  (fade out)
 
(Repeat till fade)

version 3








Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Tuning: Half step down
Chords used: Asus2 A E B
 
There are a few notes that I didn't include in the riff that I replaced for just fast down up, down up
strumming. They're single notes, but it's not hard to figure out. In the verses, I just put "Asus2 A E B" to symbolize the stuff 
in the riff ↓
 
Riff... D U  U     U  D----  DUDU  D UU  D UU DUDU
    Asus2 A    Asus2  E            B
 
This riff goes throughout the song especially in the verses, prechoruses, and
spaces with no words
 
Asus2 A  Asus2 E                B
Well, she was precious like a flower
 
       Asus2 A E                 B
She grew wild, wild but innocent
 
Asus2 A   E                       B
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
 
    Asus2 A Asus2  E             B
She was everything beautiful and different
 
         Asus2 A Asus2 E
Stupid boy
 
B
You can't fence that in
         Asus2 A Asus2 E
Stupid boy, 
 
B
It's like holdin' back the wind
 
    A                  E                   B
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
 
         A               E                         B
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
 
           A            E                Cm
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
 
B             A                  E           B
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
 
           Asus2 A Asus2 E B
Stupid boy, 
 
           Asus2 A Asus2 E B
stupid boy
 
So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around?
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
 
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
 
               Asus2 A Asus2 E B
You stupid boy, 
 
B
oh, you always had to be right
 
            A             E
But now you lost the only thing
 
          B
That ever made you feel alive
 
Yeah, yeah
 
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes, you did
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
              Asus2 A E
You stupid boy
            B                             Asus2 A Asus2 E B
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
 
   Asus2  A Asus2          E
It took a while for her to figure out
She could run but when she did
She was long gone, long gone
 
(Use the riff in the pattern from the rest of the song)
She's gone
Long gone
Yeah she is now
Yeah, ohh
 
 
On and on [incomprehensible]
She loved me, she loved me, she loved me
God, please, doesn't matter no
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby
 
Yeah, I down on my knees
She's never coming back to me

Well she was precious, like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy
Stupid boy, oh
So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down, oh
Well, She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right
But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
Yeah, yeah
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes you did
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy, mm
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone
Mmhm
Ah, she was long gone
She's long gone
Mm, yes, she is
Yeah, oh
Oh, no ones ever going to love me like she loved me
And she loved and she loved me
God, please, just let her know
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me

Well she was precious, like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy
Stupid boy, oh
So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down, oh
Well, She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right
But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
Yeah, yeah
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes you did
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy, mm
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone
Mmhm
Ah, she was long gone
She's long gone
Mm, yes, she is
Yeah, oh
Oh, no ones ever going to love me like she loved me
And she loved and she loved me
God, please, just let her know
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me
