C#
Well I'm the boy who cried wolf
    F#
And I know I lied in the past
G#                    F#                         C#
Last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark
C#
Yeah I know I spawn tales with his voice
      F#
And I open my mouth too fast
 G#                   F#                  C#
Last night I saw his footprints in the path

Chorus:
G#                  F#                 C#
I could swim every sea, south pole to north
    G#                    F#                   C#
But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf

Well I am the shepherds only son
And I know what a joke I've become;
I have an honest heart but I have lies on my tongue
I don't know how this started or where it came from
And you have no reason and I have no proof
But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth
I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth
And I know that he's hungry and he's coming down too

Chorus:
Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north
And I could climb every tree, and scale every course
Well I could tell only the truth from this day forth
But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf

Oh I'm the boy who cried wolf
Oh I'm the boy who cried..
