D5          A5                  B5               

He was a boy she was a girl,

                     Bb5      
Can i make it anymore obvious

D5          A5                  B5              
He was a punk, she did ballet
          C5        

What more can I say

 

D5            A5                           B5              
He wanted her, but she'd never tell

                     Bb5      
That secretly she wanted him as well.

D5                 A5                             B5              
But all of her friends, stuck up their nose

                  C5                                F5
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

CHORUS #1:

F5           C5                                  Bb5
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy

               A5                    F5
he wasn't good enough for her.

                C5                                      Bb5
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space

                  A5                             Bb5
She needed to come back down to Earth

 

D5                A5                     B5              
5 years from now, she sits at home

                  Bb5      
feeding her baby she's all alone

D5                A5                        B5              
She turns on TV, guess who she sees

                  C5        
Skater Boy rocking up MTV

D5                      A5                         B5              
She calls up her friends they already know

                       Bb5      
They've all got tickets to see his show

D5           A5                          B5              
She tags along, stands in the crowd

                                       C5
Looks up at the man that she turned down

CHORUS #2:

F5           C5                                  Bb5
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy

               A5                    F5
he wasn't good enough for her

                        C5                               Bb5
But now he's a superstar, slamming on his guitar

                          A5                          F5
Does your pretty face see what he's worth

F5           C5                                  Bb5
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy

               A5                    F5
he wasn't good enough for her

                        C5                               Bb5
But now he's a superstar, slamming on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth

         A5                 D5

                                F5
too bad you couldn't see

                                        C5
See the man that boy could be

                                           Bb5
There is more than meets the eye

             A5              D5
I see the soul that is inside

 

D5            A5                           B5              
He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
