F Dm When you’re young you hope to be Am C Menacing in vanity F Dm 6 feet tall, maybe more Am C Bigger now than before They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so Chorus: F Dm They said it was leaving Am C They said it went on F Dm Now I could make this last forever F C And be a boy, and be a boy Them carve your name into the street And bounce your words off satellites That keep the wasted up tonight They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so Chorus: They said it was leaving They said it with joy Now I can make this last forever And be a boy And be a boy There's safety in a jungle If you treat it like a toy Make sure you talk to strangers And be a boy And be a boy And be a boy Chorus: They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so F All of the boys are gonna be someone Dm The time you caught but it was gone Am The time you caught but it was gone C It takes a big man to be someone All the boys that could have been someone The time did come but now it's gone The time did come but now it's gone It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And I own the streets you walk tonight The time did come but it's long gone It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And I don't sleep alone at night The time did come but it's long gone It takes a big man to be someone | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C Dm F Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
