Toy Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm[D] a[G][D][G]
wind-up
toy toy [C]in an up down world
If [D]you leave me all alone,
I'll make [G]a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold in [C]the smallest size
[D]Leave me in the dark,
you'll never [G]hear me cry

[Verse 2]
More than an illus[C]tration
[D]Points of articulat[G]ion
Come to life on [C]a brass spring
[D]Such a wonderful plaything

[Verse 3]
It's [G]a cruel cross [C]that I have to bear
If you [D]come a little close I'm
going to [G]pull your hair
More than just a toy in [C]a patch-blue suit
suit
[D]Hold me in your arms I'm
just [G]a boy like you

[Verse 4]
But your [G]mama thought there
was [C]somethin' wrong
[D]Didn't want you [Dsus4]sleeping
with [G]a boy too long
It's a serious thing in a [C]grown-up world
world
[D]Maybe you'd be better with [G]a Barbie girl

[Verse 5]
You knew that I ad[C]ored ya
[D]But you[Dsus4] left me in Geo[G]rgia
Toys are not senti[C]mental
[Dsus4]How could I be for re[D]ntal?

[Verse 6]
She's [G]the meanest hag
that has [C]ever been
[D]Pulled out my insides with
an [G]old safety pin
I'm the sorest sight,
now [C]I feel like trash
[D]Clothes are made of rags and
they don't [G]even match

[Verse 7]
So [G]she dressed me up as
the [C]man she loved
Then [D]threw me in a box
when she had [G]had enough
Now the light of day I no [C]longer see
[D]She stuck her voodoo pins where my
eye[G]s used to be

[Verse 8]
Accidentally [C]tragic
[D]Victim of her black mag[G]ic
Had a boy once [C]who loved me
[Dsus4]Now he's so afraid of[D] me

[Verse 9]
On [G]a long lost day when
you're [C]gray and dull
[D]You'll be there remembering
your [G]old toy boy
When your oldest son
wonderin' [C]what to be
[D]Tell him the story [Dsus4]of a boy [G]like

[Outro 1]
me
