Hes Not A Boy Chords

(ver. 1)
The Like
Capo on the 4th fret.

Intro
The intro is strummed down, down, down up up. On the first up stroke, add the suspended
to the E chord. On the second up stroke, remove it. Play this three times, then a final
E chord on a down stroke to end the intro.

Verses
The names of these bar chords (without a capo) are written with the lyrics. Z plays them
bar chords off the E string, besides the B's. C#'s and F's next to which I wrote
With the capo, you'll finger them as G's, A's, and D's. The next verse is played the 
way.

C#              C
We were up all night
        B                 Bb
Talking trash and wasting time
        B                 Bb
When he says you're beautiful
          B(open) F(open)
It's not a line
           C#                C
But in the morning you might find
         B                     Bb
That he might have changed his mind
       Ebm          Bb
He got lonely for a love
             B(open) F(open)  C#(open)
For just one night

Bridge
These chords are written in the same way. Each is strummed 8 times (besides the last).

C#
You may say
    C
Why don't you realise
C#               Bb
I could give you everything
C#
But you see
   C                  C#
He can't be tied, contained
        Bb
or satisfied by all

C# (open)
you could bring

You can probably take it from there. If you don't think I got all of the chords right,
can watch a great video of The Like performing an acoustic version of this song on the
though, so you may have to play around with them.
