He was sixteen tender and tough
G D A
She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love
G A D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
G A D
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
G D

G D A
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child
G A D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
G A
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
G D

G D A G
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
G A
The spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

Hauling cars out to the coast
G D

G D

G A A
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
G A D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
G A D
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
