Tom: Am
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
