verse 1 
C              G                Am 
There was this kid a few years back, 
           G 
A little older than me, 
      F           C                Am           G 
Who lived in my house and looked a lot like my mother. 
C               G               Am             G 
There was this kid I knew back then and I was sure he would be 
 F            G              F     C 
The greatest star I'd ever known. 
 F                         Am              G 
I'd watch him walk into a room and he was never out of place, 
    F          C       Am       G 
He knew the answer to every question. 
 F                            Am 
The square and cube of every prime 
          G 
A name to go with every face, 
F            G            F     C 
Like he was king upon a throne.
