 VERSE 1:

 C#   B    E          A

 One, two boys by the river

 E            A

 Down by the water

          B              E

 Tellin' riddles in the dark

 C#       B     E          A

 With fireflies under the moonlight

 E           A              B           E

 Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife

 



 BRIDGE:

 C#            B              A               E

 Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister

 C#        B            A

 His best friend come along

 E                   B

 He tried to kiss her

 



 CHORUS:

           A

 The only difference

         G#

 That I see

             F#

 Is you are exactly the same

         B

 As you used to be

 

 

 VERSE:

 One boy lives in a tower

 With bow and arrow

 And the artificial heart

 With his girl

 Late in the summer

 He loaded the cannon

 With a jealous appetite

 They say that children now

 They come in all ages

 And maybe sometimes old men die

 With little boy faces



 (chorus)

 repeat

 

 BRIDGE:

 C#  B    A    E

 You always said that you needed some

 C#  B    A    E    B

 But you always had more, more than anyone

 

 (chorus)

 repeat
