Verse 1:
A minorAm    C majorC       G+G
  I was only ten years old
A minorAm         C majorC        G+G
  Like the back of my hand knew the roads
 A minorAm         C majorC       G+G        D/F#D/F#
I swerved my bike and lost control, over the handles in the air
 A minorAm      C majorC     G+G          D/F#D/F#
A augmentedA lady who came walking by found me lying there
    N.C.
And the nurse at the hospital said


Chorus 1:
E minorEm     A minorAm
Little boy, don't be scared
     G+G         C majorC
Now your father is waiting in the next room
E minorEm     A minorAm
Little boy, don't be sad
     G+G              C majorC           D/F#D/F#
Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon, hmm-mmmm
 A minorAm C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F#
Mmmmm hmm,  hmmm
 A minorAm C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F#
Mmmmm hmm

Verse 2:
A minorAm       C majorC          G+G    D/F#D/F#
  We drove so slowly through these streets
A minorAm    C majorC       G+G      D/F#D/F#
  In the suburbs of our dreams, hmm-mm
  A minorAm       C majorC          G+G        D/F#D/F#
At night my father closed his eyes, he saw the new car in the drive
  A minorAm       C majorC        G+G        D/F#D/F#
My mother standing in the doorway, Friday night, a smile on her face
    N.C.
And the voice I can hear in my head


Chorus 2:
E minorEm     A minorAm
Little boy, don't be scared
    G+G           C majorC
Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
E minorEm     A minorAm
Little boy, don't be sad
   G+G         C majorC            D/F#D/F#
Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon, hmm-mmmm
 A minorAm C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F#
Mmmmm hmm,  hmmm
 A minorAm C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F#
Mmmmm hmm


Bridge:
  A minorAm     C majorC
We only need a little space
   G+G         D/F#D/F#
Just somewhere we could call our place
  A minorAm       C majorC
My mother standing in the doorway
G+G        D/F#D/F#
Friday night, a smile on her face

A minorAm         C majorC
These things always start so small
   G+G        D/F#D/F#
With no applause and no drum roll
  A minorAm       C majorC
And I came running up the hallway
G+G        D/F#D/F#
See the car turn in the driveway, hmm-hmmm


Outro:
 E minorEm C majorC  G+G
Mmmmm hmm
     D/F#D/F#      E minorEm     C majorC  G+G
And I'll always be that little boy
     D/F#D/F#       E minorEm     C majorC  G+G
And I've always been that little boy
      D/F#D/F#      E minorEm     C majorC  G+G
Yeah, I'll always be that little boy
     D/F#D/F#      E minorEm     C majorC  G+G
And I'll always be that little boy
