Chord/Tab song: The Boy Never Stays

Capo 5


He'[Em]s the first taste of something you sh[D]ouldn't have
He's th[Em]e first lie you tell to your [D]mom and dad
He's the re[Em]ason you love the smell of [D]polo and pepper[C]mint

He's the lips[Em] that taught you how to kis[D]s
He's the reaso[Em]n you know how to drive a stic[D]k
He's the las[Em]t time you ever[D] felt innocen[C]t

Chorus:
It's a sc[Em]ene from a Saturday matinee[C]
It's a[Em] song that remembers those summer days[C]
Eve[Em]n if that cowboy rides[C] away real slow[D]
The boy never sta[D]ys
And t[Em]he love never [D]goes

He's the reaso[Em]n ferris wheels make[D] you sad
He's a box[Em] full of taped-up photo[D]graphs
He's the feel[Em]ing that always feels [D]like sevente[C]en

He's a name[Em] that you hardly ever h[D]ear
He's a fac[Em]e that you haven't seen i[D]n years
That you mee[Em]t up once in a whi[D]le in your dream[C]s

Chorus

You never [Em]fall quite [D]the same again[C]
After the fir[D]st time
Forever ends[C]

Chorus

Oh the love nev[C]er goes

He's the fir[Em]st taste of something you should[D]n't have
He's the first li[Em]e you tell to your mom and [D]dad

[Em]
