I was born on [B] the other side of [E] town
Everybody [B] over here just put me [E] down
I
[E] never thought about it much
Till the [B] first time I saw [E] you
Uh oh, I [B] suppose boy gone [E] deaf
I've had enough [Bm] to love you from [E] afar
Me down here [B] and you up where [E] you are
[Em]
[A] If you hadn't given me that look
[B] I saw it as I took [E] his trip
I love what [B] the poor boy had [E] gone through
[Em]
[A] Baby, [E] what's a poor boy got
[B] Not a egg or a lot
[E] Just a heart that's true
[A] One thing [E] he sure don't need
Is [F#] a heart that bleeds
[B] And he's a blood [G#m] sick loser
[E] I know [B] a poor boy can't [E] go far
Baby, maybe [B] someday you'll drive [E] your car
[Em]
[A] I can look [E] in my rear view
[B] Until those [E] eyes are blue
I love [B] what the poor boy had [E] gone through
[B]
[E] Hey!
[B]
[E]
[A] Baby, [E] what's a poor boy got
[B] Not a egg or a lot
[E] Just a heart that's true
[A] One thing [E] he sure don't need
Is [F#] a heart that bleeds
And [F#m] he's a blood sick [E] loser
I know [B] a poor boy can't go [E] far
Baby, maybe [F#] someday you'll drive [E] your car
[A] I can look [E] in my rear view
[B] Until those eyes [E] are blue
I love what [B] the poor boy had gone [E] through
I love what [B] the poor boy had gone [E] through
