The Boy In Me

	  		Intro:  A  Bm  C#m  D    A  E  A  D 


verse 1 

      A        E 
I remember not too long ago. 
        A           E      E7      A 
Batting base balls, boxin' with my shadow. 
         F#m             D 
Climbin' trees, climbin' walls. 
           C#m         D 
Yearned to be six feet tall. 


Pre-Chorus 

   F#m              D    
If I knew then what I know now, 
           C#m             D 
I would've been content to play. 
    A              D                       E  A 
And not to rush my hand to take the plough 


   B                     Bbm 
Oh Jesus, bring back the boy in me. 
         G#m 
Put your hand on my heart, 
    E          F# 
And let me run free. 
           B                   Bbm     F#   D#m 
Woh-oh-woh Jesus, my eyes need help to see. 
      G#m            E   F# G 
And I want to be the boy in me, yes. 



verse 2 

     A             E 
I remember it like yesterday, 
F#m            D         E       A    E 
I realised my childhood slipped away. 
        F#m            D 
Chasin' plans, chasin' dreams, 
      A               E 
Silhouettes of what I used to be. 
 

    A               D 
And I know now what I knew then 
    A             D 
Not living in the past. 
           A               E     E7 
But I wish I could go back again. 



   B                     F# 
Oh Jesus, bring back the boy in me (bring back the boy in me.) 
         G#m               B 
Put your hand on my heart, 
    E          F# 
And let me run free. 
      F#7    B 
Woh, oh, woh Jesus (bring back the boy in me) 
             Bbm         D#m 
My eyes need help to see. (bring back the boy in me) 
      G#m            E   F# B 
And I want to be the boy in me.
