Chords for Edwin McCain - The Boy Who Cried Love (Bing Lounge)

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ I was telling this story the other day, [F] I'm embracing [E] my 40-ness, you [N] know?
I have a whole new theory about it because at first I was a little bummed.
And then I thought, well, a lot of the things that I used to worry about are kind of gone now.
Because looking cool is over.
I don't have to worry about that anymore, you know?
And by now I've embarrassed myself in every way humanly possible,
so I'm not really worried about getting embarrassed.
So now it's just sort of funny.
I was pulling up to Starbucks the other day, and the girl in the Starbucks window was beautiful.
And she was looking at me.
But she wasn't really looking at me, but I was in my sad little mind.
She was looking at me.
But I want to paint you the picture of what it looked like with me pulling up.
I was in my 1999 Suburban with the French fries all over the dashboard,
my $3 Aviator mirrored sunglasses on, you know, car seats in the back.
Wheels on the bus is jamming.
I don't even hear it anymore, you know?
And I'm rolling up on this girl like a gangster, [G] like,
wheels on the bus go, mm-mm-mm-mm [B]-mm-mm. _
It was [D] awesome.
The thing about it was I could tell what she was thinking to.
I could just see her face, and she was like,
Oh, my God, I cannot believe [E] my mom likes his music.
And I went home and told my wife the whole story about what happened.
And she goes, Oh, great, so we can't go there anymore either.
Nope.
This girl is off the list.
_ [B] _ All right, I'm going to play the new song that Maya and I wrote,
the [Am] song that's on the radio.
Please call them and tell them you like it even if you don't.
I don't know how much longer that Suburban is going to last.
I'm just telling you honestly.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Oh, I've had infatuations, sweet obsessions [F#] before
They fill me up for [E] a selfish moment
[F#] And I've made them [E] out to be more
[D] Than they were _ [E] _ _
[B] [E] for [B] throwing it around
[D] I go unheard, and [E] what I'm saying
_ Is finally [B] profound
And you're sick of the sound
Of a boy who cried [E] love
And nobody came running
All the balls of love still [A] hovering
Love too many times you carelessly
But now it's [E] true and you don't believe me
Can I do to change how you see me
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
[D] Boy who cried [E] love
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Sweeping up all those [A] promises
I will never make [E] again
[A] They weren't the kind [E] you tell a trusting [F#] heart
They were [E] just designed to win
[D] Now it's you that [E] I'm sorry _
Don't let [B] me become
[D] The star of the [E] story
And have you heard the one
About the boy who cried love
And nobody came running
All the balls of love [D] still hovering
[E] Love too many times you carelessly
[A] But now it's true [E] and you don't believe me
Can I do to change how you see me
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
Boy who cried love _
[F#] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ We all won't be amazed
Romanticized through the [G] smoky haze
Stings our [F] eyes, [C] steals the [E] days from you
And the boy who cried love
And nobody came running
All the balls of love still hovering
Love too many times you carelessly
But now it's [A] true and you [E] don't believe me
Can I do to change how you see me
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
Boy who cried love
_ _ _ _ _ The boy [A] who cried [E] love _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
