[Verse 1]
[G]So [C]long, so long,
so long, he's been away
So long, so long, so long,
he's back again
When I turned [G]seventeen

[Verse 2]
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fight[D]ing for
Was [G]something holy, something more

[Verse 3]
[G]
When I [C]turned [G]twenty- one
We were out[C]side on [G]the run
When I [Em]walked out with my [D]girl, hey
We went [C]halfway around [G]the world,
around the world and that

[Verse 4]
I [D]dreamed that I saw her
standing [G]there
They're running for the boy
[D]inside [C]the man
I was [Em]hit [D]hard by the light
so bright [G]it burned
And [Em]all at once I [D]knew s[C]he'd
understand (understand, understand)
Boy inside the [G]man
The boy inside the man
When I turned twenty- five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned [Em]much older [D]then
Ah 'cause [C]the boy was [G]lost in pride

[Verse 5]
Now I just turned thirty- [G]one
And I have lost and I have won
Still I've kep[Em]t my dreams [D]alive
Ah 'cause [G]the boy will never die,
never die

[Verse 6]
And that I [D]dreamed that I saw
her standing [G]there
They're running for the boy
[D]inside [C]the man
I was [D]hit hard by the light
so bright [G]it burned
And [Em]all at once [D]I knew she'd
[C]understand (understand, understand)
The boy inside the [G]man
The boy inside the man
Ah do you [Em]understand?
[D]

[Interlude 1]

[Em][D][C]
And that [Em]I

[Verse 7]
[D]dreamed that I saw
her standing [G]there
They're running for the boy
[D]inside [C]the man
I was [Em]hit [D]hard by the light so bright,
[G]it burned
And [Em]all at once I [D]knew she'd
[C]understand (understand, understand)

[Verse 8]
[C]
And that I [D]dreamed that I saw
her standing [G]there
They're running for the boy [D]inside [C]the man
I was hit [D]hard by the light so bright,
[G]it burned
And [Em]all at once [D]I knew she'd
[C]understand (understand, understand)

[Verse 9]
Boy inside [C]the man (hit hard by the
light so bright)
The boy inside [G]the man (hit hard
by the light so bright)
The boy inside the man (hit hard
by the light so bright)
Boy inside the man yeah (hit hard
by the light so bright)
The boy inside the man (hit hard
by the light so bright)

[Verse 10]
So long, so long, [G]so long, he's been away
So long, so long, so long,
he's back again
So long, so long, so long, he's been away
So long, so long, so long,
he's back again

[G]Hey, let it, let it, hey
Hey, let it, let it be, let it be

So long, so long, so long, you been away
So long, back again
So long, so long, so long, you been away
So long, so long, so long,

[Verse 14]
Sister cool [G]this face
As if it's carved in stone
[D]Don't [C]leave me in this place
Like a [G]boy without a home
Like a boy [C]without a home (with a)
