Badflower – Adolescent Love (Guitar)

A                               F#m
I was only a boy but I looked younger than the others

A
Only hair on my head

                        F#m
And a voice just like my mother's

             F
So I stayed quiet

           E
And fully clothed

A
And this girl in my grade

                   F#m
I would dream her in my covers

A
After saving her from

                   F#m
The cruelty of her father

             F
Though her father

             E
Wasn't cruel at all

A
I was head over heels

                      F#m
I stuffed socks into my sneakers

A
I was hoping she'd think

                       F#m
That I was tall enough to reach her

     F
But the teacher

          D    E
Took my socks away

A
He said, "You're only a boy

                        F#m
You're too young to really love her

A
And when you grow up you'll find

                          F#m
There'll be hundreds more just like her"

             F               E
But I said, "Teacher, you don't understand"

       D  E              F#m E            D
The heartbreaks and the romances will come

       Bm        E          Fm    F#m
But adolescent love is a violent one

     D    E             F#m  E           D
The heartbreaks and the romances may come

     Bm          E          F    F#m
But adolescent love is a violent one
