A Boy Needs a Bike Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Csus2][C][Csus2]
[Em][Csus2]
[G]Pop works

[Verse 1]
in the shop til eight
Mom's on the phone and
she's kind of irate
Sally's [D]doing sommersaults on the
[Csus2]lawn[C]
[Csus2]Pop slams ope[G]n the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She says, what the hell did you do that for?
He washes his [D]dirty hands in the [C]sink
[G]And things around the table
are kind of rough
[Csus2]Mo m says it's pa
Pa says,
the times [G]are just tough
And me and sally [D]don't say
much of nothing at [C]all
[G]The garage door light
brightens up the night
Pa [Csus2]always works on cars when he
[C]gets [Csus2]in a fight
As though he [G]could figure out that
wo[D]man by working on that
Old [C]car
He said a [G]car can cure any
problem at all
'Cause [Csus2]of looking at all them parts makes
a [C]fight look so [F]small[G]
But I wish he'd just put me and
[D]sally in the backseat and
[C]Drive us away
That's when he [G]sits me down
He says he's gonna teach
me about life
He said, "a [C]man [Csus2]needs a car
[C]and a boy needs a [Csus2]bike"
I got my [G]first taste of freedom
[D]beneath the light of the moo[C]n
[Csus2]But if it[F] were me[G][F]
I'd have the [G]guts [F]to put to
[G]test those [C]bolt[G]s and n[Am]uts
And I'd [Em]ride [C]awa[Am]y so [D]fast, so far[G]
Ride away, so [D]fast, so[C]
[Csus2]far[D][G]
Put away our tools
We go back inside
[C]Mom feels left out and now she's
starting [Csus2]to cry[G]
I wonder if all [D]girls are crazy [C]this way
[G]I wish pops would just get a spine
I said [C]I know it's kind of small but
you can borrow [Csus2]mine
[G]He just [D]smiled and said,
"your mom means well [C]son"[Csus2]
[G]Most times are good it's just
some that are lean
But it's love that makes up for
those times in beteween
He got a tear in his eye as he
[D]took mamma's [C]hand
Said one day I'd [G]understand[F]
But if it were [G]me[F]
I'd have [G]the guts [F]to put to
[G]test those [C]bolts [G]and nut[Am]s
And I'd [Em]ride [C]awa[Am]y so [D]far, so fast[Em]
[D]Ride [C]awa[Csus2]y so fast[Am] so f[D]ar[Em][C]
[Am]Ride [D]away

[Outro 1]
