Intro A Bm C#m D  A E A D


Verse 1

   A    E
I remember not too long ago.
    A      E   E7   A
Batting base balls, boxin' with my shadow.
     F#m       D
Climbin' trees, climbin' walls.
      C#m     D
Yearned to be six feet tall.

Pre-chorus

  F#m       D
If I knew then what I know now,
      C#m       D
I would've been content to play.
  A       D            E A
And not to rush my hand to take the plough


Chorus 1

  B           Bbm
Oh Jesus, bring back the boy in me.
     G#m
Put your hand on my heart,
  E     F#
And let me run free.

Woh-oh-woh Jesus, my eyes need help to see.

And I want to be the boy in me, yes.


Verse 2

   A       E
I remember it like yesterday,
F#m      D     E    A  E
I realised my childhood slipped away.
    F#m      D
Chasin' plans, chasin' dreams,
   A        E
Silhouettes of what I used to be.


Pre-chorus

  A        D
And I know now what I knew then
  A       D
Not living in the past.
      A        E   E7
But I wish I could go back again.

And I want to be the boy in me.
