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.
           B                   Bbm     F#   D#m
Woh-oh-woh Jesus, my eyes need help to see.
      G#m            E   F# G
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.


Chorus 2

   B                     F#
Oh Jesus, bring back the boy in me (bring back the boy in me.)

Put your hand on my heart,
    E          F#
And let me run free.
      F#7    B
Woh, oh, woh Jesus (bring back the boy in me)
             Bbm         D#m
My eyes need help to see. (bring back the boy in me)

And I want to be the boy in me.
