   A
I fixed my dwelling for the night
                                D
Lighted pairs come passing by where I hide
   A
I need some time now on my own
              F#m             D            A
Leave my loneliness alone to lick my wounds
F#m                 D
Night has found me just in time
to help me close my eyes one more time

Chorus:
 D        E       F#m         Bm C#m
Living a boy's adventure tale
    D       E
In so many ways
 D        E       F#m         Bm C#m
Living a boy's adventure tale
     D       E
For so many days
     D        E       F#m
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
Bm     C#m   D     E
Can't escape if I wanted to
 D        E       F#m
Living a boy's adventure tale
Bm        C#m         D        E
I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeking love in so many faces
A change of weather
The rain pours down
My head in hands
Pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now?

Chorus:
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
Living a boy's adventure tale
A voice I hear
Living a boy's adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me

Living a boy's adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy's adventure tale
Oh, you know it's true
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
For so many days
I love you
I love you
So many ways
