Am  I was Conly ten years Gold
Am  Like the back of Cmy hand knew the Groads
I Amswerved my bike and Clost control, oGver the handles Din the air
A Amlady who came Cwalking by Gfound me lying there D 
And the nurse at the hospital said

EmLittle boy, Amdon't be scared
Now your Gfather is waiting Cin the next room
EmLittle boy, Amdon't be sad
Now your Gmom's on her way, you'll be Cout of here soon,mDmmm
MmAmmmm Cmm,G mmDm
MmAmmmm CmmG  D 

We drove so slowly through these streets
In the suburbs of our dreams, hmm-mm
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

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 comin' 'round soon,mmmm
Mmmmmmm, mmm
Mmmmmmm

We Amonly need a Clittle space
Just Gsomewhere we could Dcall our place
My Ammother standing Cin the doorway
GFriday night, a Dsmile on her face

AmThese things always Cstart so small
With Gno applause and Dno drum roll
And AmI came running Cup the hallway
GSee the car turn Din the driveway, hmm-hmmm

MmEmmmm CmmmmG

And I've Dalways been that Emlittle boy C  G 
Yeah, I'll Dalways be that Emlittle boy C  G 
And I'll Dalways be that Emlittle boy C  G
