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

Chorus:
Gm          Cm
Little boy, don't be scared
          A#               D#
Now your father is waiting in the next room
Gm           Cm
Little boy, don't be sad
          A#                         D#                      F 
Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon, hmm-mmmm

We drove so slowly through these streets
In the suburbs of our dreams
At night my father closed his eyes
He saw the new car in the drive
My mother standing in the doorway
Friday night, a smile on her face
And the voice I can hear in my head

Chorus:
"Little boy, don't be scared
Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
Little boy, don't be sad
Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon"

   Cm          D#
We only need a little space
     A#                  F 
Just somewhere we could call our place
   Cm              D#
My mother standing in the doorway
A#                F 
Friday night, a smile on her face

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

          F            Gm         D# A#
And I'll always be that little boy
          F              Gm         D# A#
And I've always been that little boy
            F            Gm         D# A#
Yeah, I'll always be that little boy
          F            Gm         D# A#
And I'll always be that little boy
