 B
Little boy inside my chest
 G#m                        E
Beat my heart just like a drum
 B
Tell him I'll never forget
 G#m                       E
How it was when we were young

'Cause you and I, we dreamed a dream
On the road in '93
To tell him it's not over yet
I still got some fight in me

Chorus:
 B
Woah, I'm gonna lie low
Smoke in my hand, oh
G#m                E
Lying awake in my hotel bed, oh
B
Down in the valley, down in my love, oh
 G#m                      E
Darling I pray something picks me up
B
Oooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh
G#m
Oooh ooh ooh
      E
I'll never let this go
B
Oooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh
G#m
Oooh ooh ooh
      E
I'll do this on my own

Little boy inside my chest
Breathe some life into my bones
I've been lost and wandering
Down and out and missing home

'Cause you and I we dreamed a dream
On the road with my guitar
So beat a little louder now
I can't hear you anymore

Chorus

        G#m           B
And we never got too tired
        E            B
And we never got too old
         E                         B
We just ran through the streets forever,
         F#
arm in arm

         G#m             B             E
And the setting sun was higher than it ever was
   B
before
        E             B               F#
And we never knew perfection like it was
