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
