[Verse 1]
GC
There's a kid inside
AD
And I have him with me always
GC
There's a kid inside
AD
Walking down old high school hallways
GC
There's a kid inside
AA7B7
At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers
GG7
There's a kid inside
Cadd9CCmaj7
To this very day
[Verse 2]
GCCadd9
And he makes a try for that high pop fly
AA7Dsus2D
That I fumbled one September
GCCadd9
And he makes a fuss over some A plus
AA7Dsus2D
That I shouldn't still remember
GCCmaj7
And he goes along
AA7B7
Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over
GG7
And unless I'm strong
Cadd9CCmaj7C
All my senses are carried away
[Verse 3]
GCCadd9
I could feel my hand – My trembling hand
AA7Dsus2D
On Michell's angora sweater
GCCadd9AA7Dsus2D
I can hear my band – That awful band, only now it sounds much better
GCCadd9A
I can see the kid, The kid I used to be
A7B7
On the stage, on the field, on the lunch line
GG7
I can feel him tugging at me
CCadd9C(b9)
Every time I think I don't care I blink
[Chorus]
GDDsus2CCadd9CCmaj7
And he's there again, he's there again
GDDadd4CCadd9CCmaj7
Fighting ancient wrongs, humming old hit songs in my head
GDsus2DCCadd9CCmaj7
Singing come along, come along, come along for the ride
GDDadd4CCadd9CCmaj7
To a time and place I could not forget if I tried
[Verse 4]
GCCadd9A
And I never know when the breeze'll blow
A7Dsus2D
With a rush of old sensation
GCCadd9A
Why the kid should wake, and my heart should ache
A7Dsus2D
Every time I smell carnations
GCCadd9A
Something rings the bell, anything at all
A7B7
All it takes is a slam of a locker
GG7
Or the switch from summer to fall
CCadd9C(b9)
A change in season seems barely reason,
[Chorus]
GDDsus2CCadd9CCmaj7
But there he goes, he's there again
GDDadd4CCadd9CCmaj7
Fighting ancient wrongs, humming old hit songs in my head
GDsus2DCCadd9CCmaj7
Singing come along, come along, come along for the ride
GDDadd4CCadd9CCmaj7
To a time and place I could not for get if I tried
[Outro]
GDDsus2CCadd9CCmaj7
There he goes again, hummin' his songs
GDDadd4CCadd9CCmaj7GDsus2D
He's there again, there's a kid inside
Cadd9CCmaj7C
Hummin' his songs
GDsus2DCadd9CCmaj7CG
He's there again, there's a kid inside
