G
Well I'm the boy who cried wolf
C
And I know I lied in the past
D                    C                               G
Last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark
G
Yeah I know I spawn tales with his voice
C
And I open my mouth too fast
D                 C                        G
Last night I saw his footprints in the path
G      D    C                               G
I could swim every sea, south pole to north
G      D    C                             G         C
But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf

G  C  G

G
Well I'm shepherds only son
C
And I know what a joke I've become
D                         C
I have a honest heart but I have lies on my tongue

G
I don't know how this started where it came from
G
You have no reason and I have no proof
C
But this time I swear, I'm tellin the truth
D            C
I saw that old wolf from tail to tooth
            G
And I know he's hungry and he's coming down too
     D             G                 C               G
Where I could swim every sea from south pole to north
    D         G          C
I could climb every tree scale every coarse
G            D          C                         Em  G
Well I can only tell the truth from this day forth
G       D       C                             G
But I know I'll ever be the boy who cried wolf
 
C
Ooooh oh

      D             G
Oh I'm the boy who cried wolf
C     D             G
Oh I'm the boy who cried..
