I want to be the boy that warms your mother's heart
G5 D5
I'm so scared to take you away
C5
I tried to win her over right from the start
G5 D5
But something always got in the way
C5
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
G5 D5
But she won't even come out and say hi
C5
While my mother baked a little cake for you
G5 F5
And even dreaded when you said goodbye
G5
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
D5 D5 D5 D5
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
F5 G5
I'm inclined to go finish high school
A5 A5 A5 A5
Just to make her notice that I'm around
( D5 C5 G5 ) 2x
D5 C5
Well nothing I come up with seems to work
G5 D5
It feels like everything I say is a lie
C5
And never have a felt like such a jerk
G5 D5
I'm afraid to even open my eyes
C5
Because I really don't want her to judge me
G5 D5
I want to her really know who I am
C5
And then, and only then she will love me
G5 F5
Well at least that was the plan
G5
If ever a boy needed a holiday
D5 D5 D5 D5
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
F5 G5
I just hope I don't act the same way
A5 A5 A5 A5
By the time that I get that old
( D5 C5 G5 ) 4x
D5 C5
I never said I was the heir to a fortune
G5 D5
I never claimed to have any looks
C5
But these kind of things must be important
G5
Because somebody ripped out my page
A5
In your telephone book
D5
I want to warm her heart
