Verse 1
Ab
Well, I love the crowds, love the towns
Bbm
Love the way my life’s gone down
Bbm Ab
The way it has

I get to sing and chase my dreams
Eb
But, like they say, with all good things
Ab
There’s strings attached
(Verse-2)
Ab
Don’t get me wrong, my life’s a song
Ab
You know me, I belong

Girl, where you are
Eb
But from time to time, it feels like I’m
Eb
Trapped and somehow stuck behind
Ab
This guitar
(Chorus)
Db Ab/C Bbm
Behind this guitar is just a boy
Eb Ab Abmaj7 Fm
Who had a dream in his heart
Db Ab/C Bbm Cm
Behind this guitar is just a guy
Db Fm Eb
That can’t believe he got this far
[VERSE THREE]
Ab
When I was a kid and the other kids
Bbm
Were doin’ what most kids did
Bbm
Well there I was
Eb Bbm
Sittin’ on the edge of that twin bed
Eb
Pickin’ till my fingers bled
Ab
And it got in my blood
[VERSE FOUR]
Ab
That’s not to say I didn’t fish or play
Goof around and act my age
Db
And be home by dark
Eb Bbm
But from eight or nine to here tonight
Eb
I pretty much grew up behind
Ab
This guitar
(Chorus)
Db Ab/C Bbm
Behind this guitar is just a boy

Behind this guitar is just a guy

Who can’t believe he got this far

Well, I’ve always said that I’ve been blessed

What I mean is anybody’s guess
Bbm Ab
Well, I don’t know

Could have answered any other’s prayers
Ab Bbm Eb
And let mine go
Ab
But thanks to Him, my family friends

And those who’ve got me where I am

You know who you are
Eb Bbm
Now, with that in mind, the truth is I’m
Eb
Not the only one behind
Ab
This guitar
I love the crowds, love the towns
Love the way my life’s gone down
The way it has
I get to sing and chase my dreams
But like they say with all good things
There’s strings attached
Don’t get me wrong my life’s a song
And you know me… I belong girl
Where you are
But from time to time it feels like I’m
Trapped and somehow stuck behind this guitar
Behind this guitar
Is just a boy who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar
Is just a guy who can’t believe he got this far
When I was a kid and the other kids
Were doin’ what most kids did
Well there I was
Sitting on the edge of that twin bed
Pickin’ til my fingers bled
Got in my blood
That’s not to say I didn’t fish or play
Goof around and act my age
And be home by dark
But from 8 or 9 til right here tonight
You might say I pretty much grew up behind this guitar
Behind this guitar
Is just a boy who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar
Is just a guy who can’t believe he got this far
Well I’ve always said that I’ve been blessed
Why me? is anybody’s guess
Well I don’t know
But I’m well aware that the man upstairs
Could’ve answered any other’s prayers
And let mine go
But thanks to him, my family and friends
Those who got me where I am
You know who you are
Now with that in mind the truth is I’m
Not the only one behind this guitar
