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

Now your father is waiting in the next room

Verse 2:
AmCGD/F#
We drove so slowly through these streets
AmCGD/F#
In the suburbs of our dreams, hmm-mm
AmCGD/F#
At night my father closed his eyes, he saw the new car in the drive
AmCGD/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:
EmAm
Little boy, don't be scared
GC
Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
EmAm
Little boy, don't be sad

Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon, hmm-mmmm
AmCGD/F#
Mmmmm hmm, hmmm
AmCGD/F#
Mmmmm hmm
Bridge:
AmC
We only need a little space
GD/F#
Just somewhere we could call our place
AmC
My mother standing in the doorway
GD/F#
Friday night, a smile on her face
AmC
These things always start so small
GD/F#
With no applause and no drum roll
AmC
And I came running up the hallway
GD/F#
See the car turn in the driveway, hmm-hmmm
Outro:EmCG
Mmmmm hmm
D/F#EmCG
And I'll always be that little boy

D/F#EmCG
And I'll always be that little boy
