A fantastic and simple song...the tempo starts slow and picks up as it goes.  This
is how I like to play it.  To make for easier playing you can use the alternate
version of Asus2 throughout (I believe Mat himself does this live sometimes). I
think the fuller one sounds better, but both give the same effect.  Happy playing :)
 
 
VERSE:
 
    Asus2        C#m7            Bsus4
I'm sure that I'm moving to St Louis
 
    Asus2              C#m7               Bsus4
Three long years wondering here in New York City
 
    Asus2                   C#m7            Bsus4
I guess I'm looking for the right way to do this
 
     Asus2                   C#m7                 Bsus4
I guess I'm looking for the right things to call pretty
 
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:
    Asus2                   C#m7                      Bsus4
Young boys playing in the park turning their backs to take a shot
 
    Asus2                           C#m7                         Bsus4
You know I'll stay sharp around here 'cause they're stoning and leaving type
 
          Asus2                       C#m7                      Bsus4
It's the kind of love that comes and goes when there's company coming around
 
 
CHORUS:
 
               Asus2   C#m7       Bsus4
What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
 
               Asus2   C#m7       Bsus4
What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
 
VERSE:
Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them
And I've been looking round for someone to tell me who I am
He kept saying I was to young to finish a fight
I'd die each time they came I never got to draw my knife
 
PRE-CHORUS:
Well it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in
And angel is crying I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away
Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone
 
CHORUS:
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
 
 
BRIDGE 1:
          Asus2(alt)     C#m7     Bsus4
Well I'll stack all my books in perfect rows
 
         Asus2(alt)    C#m7  Bsus4
From the biggest down to the smallest ones
 
       Asus2(alt)  C#m7   Bsus4
And I buy all the perfect clothes
 
       Asus2(alt)              C#m7         Bsus4
Bullet proof and black, where I look like a son...
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:
Well it was just a rain night at his house
A bottle spinning around the room
And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom halfway rush of blood
And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark
 
CHORUS:
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
 
 
BRIDGE 2:
 
          Asus2(alt)
It's all quiet for the first time
 
      Bsus4
With no voices left to fall I saw
 
      C#m7
a boy at the bottom of the bridge
 
      Aadd9
His car was left there on the top
 
     Asus2(alt)
It's four o'clock in the morning
 
      Bsus4
Didn't need to be like this
 
       C#m7
There's a white sheet left to cover up
 
      Aadd9
What should have been a holy kiss
 
     Asus2
It's not like those days
 
C#m7                   Bsus4
It's not like I'm scared of you
 
 
CHORUS:
                Asus2 C#m7       Bsus4
What's the son of man and a boy to do?
 
                Asus2 C#m7       Bsus4
What's the son of man and a boy to you?
