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
