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


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


Verse 2:
Am             C                    G       D/F#
   We drove so slowly through these streets
Am        C              G           D/F#
   In the suburbs of our dreams, hmm-mm
   Am              C                   G               D/F#
At night my father closed his eyes, he saw the new car in the drive
   Am              C               G               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:
Em          Am
Little boy, don't be scared
        G                      C
Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
Em          Am
Little boy, don't be sad
      G                  C                       D/F#
Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon, hmm-mmmm
  Am  C   G  D/F#
Mmmmm hmm,   hmmm
  Am  C   G  D/F#
Mmmmm hmm


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

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


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