[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 comin' '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
