So long, so long, so long he's been away,

so long, so long, so long he's back again.

1. When I turned seventeen, we had passion, we had dreams,

D

thought the love we were fighting for

C G

was something holy, something more.

C G C G

And when I turned twenty-one we were outside on the run,

D

when I walked out with my girl, hey,

C G

we went halfway around the world.

D G

I dreamed I saw her standing there,

D - G

running for the boy inside the man.

D G

I was hit hard by the light, so bright it burned,

C

all at once I knew she'd understand,

C - G C - G

the boy inside the man, the boy inside the man.

3. When I turned twenty-five we were hungry, we had drive,

D C G

when I turned much older then, oh, then the boy was lost in pride.

C G C G

Now I just turned thirty-one, and I’ve lost and I have won,

D C G

still I've kept my dreams alive, oh, 'cause the boy will never die.
