[Verse 1]
Well, I [C]am
the boy who cried wolf
And [F]I know I've lied in the past
But [G]last night I saw his [F]yellow
eyes shining in the [C]dark
Yeah, I know I spun tales with his voice
And I [F]open my mouth too fast
But [G]last night I saw his
[F]footprints in the path
[C]

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]I could swim every s[F]ea
from south pole to [C]north
But [G]I know I'll only ever be t[F]he boy

[Verse 3]
Well, I am [C]the shepherd's only son
[F]And I know what a joke I've become
I have [G]an honest heart
but I have lies on my tongue
I don't [C]know how it started
or where it came from
And you have no reason
and I have no proof
But [F]this time I swear, I'm telling the truth
[G]I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth
And [C]I know that he's hungry
and he's coming down too

[Verse 4]
Well, [G]I could swim every s[F]ea
from south pole to [C]north
And [G]I could climb every tree
[F]and scale every [C]course
An[G]d I could share only the truth
[F]from this day [Am]forth[C]
But [F]I know I'll only ever b[G]e
the boy who cried wolf

[Verse 5]
[C]Oh, [F]oh, I [G]am the boy
[C]who cried wolf
Oh, [F]oh, [G]I am the boy
