I want to be the boy that warms your mother's heart
                     G                                                    D  
I'm so scared to take you away
                                                                                  C  
I tried to win her over right from the start
             G                                                                      D  
But something always got in the way
                                                                                                             C  
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
                        G                                                                    D  
But she won't even come out and say hi
                                                                                     C  
While my mother baked a little cake for you
                             G                                                              F  
And even dreaded when you said goodbye
                                                                                                     G  
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
                                                                                                        D      D4  D    D7  
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
F                                                                                            G  
     I'm inclined to go finish high school
                                                                                             A            A4A     A7  
Just to make her notice that I'm around
 D  C  G)  
D                                                                         C  
Well nothing I come up with seems to work
                                        G                                                    D  
It feels like everything I say is a lie
                                                                          C  
And never have a felt like such a jerk
                  G                                                    D  
I'm afraid to even open my eyes
                                                                                                C  
Because I really don't want her to judge me
                             G                                                    D  
I want to her really know who I am
                                                                                          C  
And then, and only then she will love me
                        G                                                 F  
Well at least that was the plan
                                                                          G  
If ever a boy needed a holiday
                                                                                          D      D4  D    D7  
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
F                                                                                      G  
     I just hope I don't act the same way
                                                                             A    A4A     A7  
By the time that I get that old
 D  C  G)  
D                                                                                            C  
     I never said I was the heir to a fortune
                          G                                              D  
I never claimed to have any looks
                                                                                                C  
But these kind of things must be important
                        G  
Because somebody ripped out my page
                                                  A  
In your telephone book
                                                     D  
I want to warm her heart
