The Boy Never Stays


Capo 5 Em D He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have Em D He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad Em D C He's the reason you love the smell of polo and peppermint Em D He's the lips that taught you how to kiss Em D He's the reason you know how to drive a stick Em D C He's the last time you ever felt innocent Chorus: Em C It's a scene from a Saturday matinee Em C It's a song that remembers those summer days Em C D Even if that cowboy rides away real slow D The boy never stays Em D And the love never goes Em D He's the reason ferris wheels make you sad Em D He's a box full of taped-up photographs Em D C He's the feeling that always feels like seventeen Em D He's a name that you hardly ever hear Em D He's a face that you haven't seen in years Em D C That you meet up once in a while in your dreams Chorus Em D C You never fall quite the same again D After the first time C Forever ends Chorus C Oh the love never goes Em D He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have Em D He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad Em
