  Big Boys (demo)

     

  E

  I am starting to function

  In the usual way

  Everything is so provocative

  Very very, temporary

  

  E

  I shall walk (I shall walk)

  Out of this place (out of this place)

  I shall walk

  

         A

  Out on you

  'Cause you go silly

  If she's willing

  

        B   A                   E

  Trying so hard to be like the big boys

  

  G

  So you take her to the pictures

  

  Em

  Trying to become a fixture

  

  G

  Inch by inch trying to reach her

  

  Em

  All the way through the second feature

  

  C                   D

  Worrying about your physical fitness

  

  C               D                  A            E

  Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..

  

  

  E

  I was caught in the suction

  By a face like a truncheon

  I was down upon one knee

  Stroking her vanity

  

  E

  I was stuck on a hammerhead

  I came alive and left for dead

  As my face returned to red

  Choking on my pride and pity

  

  E

  We can talk (we can talk)

  Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)

  

                                A

  We can talk but she'll get to you

  After you've been loved and hated

  By the ones you've watched and waited

  Found that they were overrated

  

  B             E                      A

  She'll be the one - when the party's over

  

  B             E                         A

  She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home

  

  B             E                               A

  She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto

  

  B             E                  A

  She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to

  

  B             E                        A

  She'll be the one - who knows all your history

  

  B             E

  She'll be the one -

  

                                A

  So you can cross her off your list

  

             B   A

  And you try so hard

  

             B   A

  And you try so hard

  

             B   A 

  And you try so hard

  

                 E         

  To be like the big boys
