Verse 1:
Am Asus2  Am Asus2  Am Asus2    Am Asus2    Am Asus2
                    Daniel,  do you     remember?
Am Asus2  Am Asus2    Am Asus2    G
          You were in such a    state
     F     F    F  Em   Dm   C
Boys would wait outside your house
              Dm
I've got your number
              G       F      C  Cmaj7 C7
And I'm not afraid to use it
 
Verse 2:
Dm                 Am
  They'll probably give it up
   Dm              Am          C   C6 C
To anyone they see,  including me
F                  Em            Dm
  They'll probably make up your mind
          C            G
As if you want them to
 
Chorus:
    F
Oh, you
      G         Am            C
Those boys tell you what to do
           Dm    Dm C  Dm C
All of the time
G            F
Oh, later on
         G       Am             C
You said I could be just what I want
              Dm         Dm C  Dm C
And they said stop lying
              G             F
Well you were born to be an astronaut
           C              Dm
And you'll do that or die trying
G           F               Am
  What a way to live and die
                G            F
And you wonder why boys will cry
             C                 Dm                  G       F
Boys will be boys, They should listen, do as their Mothers tell them.
 
Verse 3:
Dm                    Am
   If you know what's good for you
Dm           Am                C   C6  C
Behave yourself this time, for me
F                    Em
  If you know what's good for you
      Dm            C            G
Don't lay around complaining all day
   F       G         Am               C
Oh my, the boys that wait along the line
            Dm      Dm C  Dm C
They're not crying
 
Chorus:
G          F
Oh, later on
 G        Am                 C
They will tell you what went wrong
          Dm         Dm C  Dm C
They said stop lying
              G             F
Well you were born to be an astronaut
           C              Dm
And you'll do that or die trying
G             F                  Am Bb   G  F
  There'll be nothing wrong with it----, I---
