Am     D
The boy who cried wolf
                     G
He don't cry wolf anymore
                      Am            D
For one day he opened up his eyes
                        G
And the wolf was at the door

[Verse]
                 C                D
And all his faithful hound dogs
                         Em
Couldn't chase the wolf away
                     Am                       D
For the boy cried 'Wolf' one too many times
            Gm               G
And now the real wolf came today

[Chorus]
                C               D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
                       G
Then the fairy tale is through
               Am                     D
Fairy tales are funny little things
              Gm           G
'Less they're happening to you

[Verse]
                  Am     D
The boy who cried love
                     G
He don't cry love anymore
                        Am             D
The wolf of love opened up his heart
                        G
Left it bleeding on the floor

[Verse]
                       C            D
And a thousand healing love songs
                        Em
Couldn't take the pain away
                     Am          D
The boy did not know true love
     Gm             G
'Til love had gone away

[Chorus]
                C               D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
                       G
Then the fairy tale is through
               Am                     D
Fairy tales are funny little things
              Gm           G
'Less they're happening to you

[Instrumental]
G  Am   D   G
G  Am  D  G
C  D  Em
Am   D  Gm  G

[Verse]
                            Am     D
Some live in houses made of straw
                            G
Some live in houses made of glass
                     Am               D
Surrounding walls of brick and stone
                               G
They say, "I'm safe at home at last"

[Verse]
                             C               D
When the wolf comes prowling late one night
                              Em
And he blows their safe house down
                  Am                          D
Nursery rhymes go running through their mind
         Gm               G
They lay curled up on the ground

[Chorus]
                C               D
Sing 'La la la' one more time
                       G
Then the fairy tale is through
               Am                     D
Fairy tales are funny little things
              Gm           G
'Less they're happening to you

[Outro]
                  Am     D
The boy who cried wolf
                     G      D
He don't cry wolf anymore
