[Intro]
C   D/C   C   D/C   C

[Verse 1]
                      D/C  C                   D/C       C
It's safe in the city, to love in a doorway
                          D                            Em     D
To wrangle some screens from the door
                  C   D/C             C                       D/C
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?
                           C               D              Em
Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash
D           C  D/C                   C                  D/C
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
                               C              D               Em
So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I
                  D              Bm
Run to the center of things,
Where the knowing one says

[Chorus]
Dm    Am              G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
Dm    Am               F                                     G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
          Dm           Am/C     G/B                     G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
             Dm            Am    F                          G         C
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing

[Verse 2]
                                D/C                    C
I'm glad that you're older than me
                            D/C                         C
Makes me feel important and free
                                 D                       Em         D
Does that make you smile, isn't that me?
                  C   D/C              C                          D/C
I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment
                         C                     D
If his trade is a curse, then I'll bless you
    Em                D                     Bm
And turn to the crossroads of hamburgers, and

[Chorus]
Dm     Am            G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
Dm     Am             F                                   G
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
           Dm          Am/C      G/B          G
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
           Dm          Am        F                                 G
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
