Mika - Toy Boy Chords

[Intro]

G     G/D    G    D
G     G/D   G

[Verse 1]
      G       G/D
I'm a wind up toy
      C       C/G
In an up-down world
       D             D/A
If you leave me all alone
            G        G/D
I'll make a mess for sure

       G        G/D
I've a heart of gold
       C        C/G
In the smallest size
D               D/A
Leave me in the dark
          G       G/D
You never hear me cry

[Chorus 1]
G           G/D    C        C/G
  More than an illustration
D           D/A   G       G/D
  Points of articulation
G         G/D       C            C/G
  Come to life on a brass spring
D        D/A       D7
  Such a wonderful plaything

[Verse 2]
       G     G/D
It's a cruel cross
       C       C/G
That I have to bear
       D             D/A
If you come a little close
             G         G/D
I'm going to pull your hair

          G      G/D
More than just a toy
     C            C/G
In a patched blue suit
D               D/A
Hold me in your arms
           G        G/D
I'm just a boy like you

         G     G/D
But your momma thought
          C         C/G
There was something wrong
D               D/A
Didn't want you sleeping
       G       G/D
With a boy too long

       G       G/D
It's a serious thing
     C        C/G
In a grown-up world
D              D/A
Maybe you'd be better
       G      G/D
With a Barbie girl

[Chorus 2]
G          G/D    C          C/G
  You knew that I adored ya
D         D/A        G       G/D
  But you left me in Georgia
G          G/D      C        C/G
  Toys are not sentimental; 
D           D/A      D7
  How could I be for rental?

[Verse 3]
          G       G/D
She's the meanest hag
         C    C/G
That has ever been
D               D/A
Pulled out my insides
        G          G/D
With an old safety pin

        G      G/D
I'm the sorest sight
      C         C/G
Now I feel like trash
D                   D/A
Clothes are made of rags
               G    G/D
And they don't even match

       G          G/D
So she dressed me up
       C       C/G
As the man she loved
    D             D/A
And threw me in a box
             G    G/D
When she had had enough

        G        G/D
Now the light of day
     C      C/G
I no longer see
    D                D/A
She stuck her voodoo pins
              G       G/D
Where my eyes used to be

[Chorus 3]
G     G/D      C        C/G
  Accidentally tragic
D        D/A          G      G/D
  Victim of her black magic
G       G/D          C        C/G
  Had a boy once who loved me
D          D/A       D7
  Now he's so afraid of me

[Verse 4]
     G         G/D
On a long lost day
            C        C/G
When you're grey and old
D                 D/A
You'll be there remembering
     G       G/D
Your old toy boy

          G    G/D
When your only son's
          C       C/G
Wondering what to be
D            D/A
Tell him the story of
  G        G/D
A boy like me

[Outro]
G    G/D    C    C/G
D    D/A    G    G/D
G    G/D    C    C/G
D    D/A    G    G/D

G    G/D    C    C/G
D    D/A    G  G/D  G
