Verse -
[C]They say if you leave a horse [F]alone it dies
[G]Nestles into the hay and shuts its [F]eyes
Well IR[C]17;ve dreamt of being that horse a hu[F]ndred times
And I [G]end up a pile of bones and a cloud of [F]flies
And [C]when you’re nine years old you [F]don’t care
[G]If you're on your own or one of a [F]pair
And [C]when you get salt in your eyes, sand in your [F]hair
[G]Call for mom or daddy they’[F]ll be there
Chorus -
[C]Please don[Em]217;t turn me i[F]nto a man
[C]Cos I don’t wa[Em]nt to see my[F] skin fold
[C]Oh please [Em]wont you keep me as I [F]am
Oh [C]people look so [Em]lonely when theyR[F]17;re old, when they’re old
[C]
[C]When you come of age it’s no[F]t the same
No [G]umbrella over your head when it[F] rains
And your [C]friends would rather get high than play a [F]game
[G]Oh it’s such a shame the way[F] they change
And [C]Emily’s hung over, bill [F]feels rough
[G]Thinks his girlfriend might be up the [F]duff...again
She [C]threw up twice last night on the [F]bus
And I [G]never thought growing old could be so [F]tough
Chorus -
[C]Please don[Em]217;t turn me i[F]nto a man
[C]Cos I don’t wa[Em]nt to see my[F] skin fold
[C]Oh please [Em]wont you keep me as I [F]am
Oh [C]people look so [Em]lonely when theyR[F]17;re old, when they’re old
