Boys Like You

F
Cutback
G
Rewind
Em                    Am
Gotta play the replay in my mind
F                       G                      Em Am
It's a little fuzzy but I think I can make it out
F                      G                Em
Look it's me standing there with my diary
                           Am
Hiding the evidence that I wrote down in period three
F                           G                      Em Am
Could this be the moment that I have been dreaming about?


[Pre-Chorus]
         F                  G
But then she's there too in pink and blue
        Em             Am
I guess all the stars align for you
              F            G                     Em
And I'll take all my heart break and swallow it down
         Am
They can never find out


[Chorus]
F                     G
All my life I've been hiding myself
     Em                     Am
Just waiting for a boy like you
F                     G
Running home from the bus stop
             Em                         Am
Crying over stupid words from boys like you
F                  G
Not answering the questions in math class
         Em                      Am
'Cause I answer them before boys like you
F                       G
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
       Em                     Am F
I will never love a boy like you


[Verse 2]
G           Em
"I'll never love again..."
Am            F
That's what I said
       G                    Em     Am
When I ran home and told my mum in 1997
F                         G
I still remember the look on her face
          Em                          Am
She said "Boys like that should be in 2nd place
          F
I know it hurts right now
G                  Em
One day you'll realise
           Am
There's no need to hide yourself from the world"


[Chorus]
F                     G
All my life I've been hiding myself
     Em                     Am
Just waiting for a boy like you
F                     G
Running home from the bus stop
            Em                          Am
Crying over stupid words from boys like you

(There's no need to hide)
F                 G
Not answering the questions in math class
         Em                      Am
'Cause I answer them before boys like you

(There's no need to hide)
F                       G
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
       Em                    Am
I will never love a boy like you

(There's no need to hide)


F                     G
All my life I've been hiding myself
     Em                     Am
Just waiting for a boy like you
F                     G
Running home from the bus stop
            Em                          Am
Crying over stupid words from boys like you

(There's no need to hide)
F                 G
Not answering the questions in math class
         Em                      Am
'Cause I answer them before boys like you

(There's no need to hide)
F                       G
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
       Em                    Am
I will never love a boy like you

(There's no need to hide)


F                     G
All my life I've been hiding myself
     Em                     Am
Just waiting for a boy like you
F                     G
Running home from the bus stop
            Em                          Am
Crying over stupid words from boys like you
F                 G
Not answering the questions in math class
         Em                      Am
'Cause I answer them before boys like you
F                       G
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
       Em                    Am
I will never love a boy like you
