Chords for Tom Cochrane - Boy Inside The Man (Acoustic)

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
It sounds kind of like, like My Way by Frank Sinatra, you know.
It's autobiographical, it talks about the different phases you go through and you're
[E] growing and you're this wide-eyed romantic at, you know, your late teens, early twenties.
And then you become hardcore, you're looking, you're ambitious as hell.
[F] You're desperate to make your mark.
You go, you know, what if all ends tomorrow and nobody's going to [Bb] remember me?
You know, that was always my biggest, furious failure, right?
And you know, so you get to 31, you get a child and that changes you a lot too.
And you grow and you always sort of hang on to that ideal [Gb] of what [Bb] you are and what you can mean.
Yeah, that's, that's going inside the man. _ _ _ _
_ Probably as much of a signature song as I have.
[C] You can never leave it out of a show.

[G] _ _ _ _ We [C] were outside on [G] the run _ _ _ [Em] When I walked out with my [D] girl
We _ [C] went halfway [G] around the world _ _ _ [Em] And I, [D] I dreamed that [G] I saw her standing there
[Em] Running for [D] the boy inside [G] the man And I [Em] was hit [D]
hard by [G] the light so bright
I let it burn And all at [D] once I knew she'd [C] understand
Understand, understand
Boy inside the man [G] Boy _ _ _ inside the man
When _ _ _ _ [C] I burned 25 [G] _ We _ were hungry and we had dried
_ _ _ [Em] When I burned much [D] older then Cause _ _ [G] the boy was lost in pride
_ _ Now [C] I've just turned [G] 31 And _ I [C] am lost and I [G] am worn
_ _ [Em] Still I kept those [D] dreams alive Cause _ [G] the boy will never die, no
_ _ _ [Em] And I, [D] I dreamed that [G] I saw her standing there Running [D] for the boy [G] inside the man
_ [Em] And I was [D] hit hard [G] by the light so bright I let it burn
[Em] And all at [D] once I knew she'd [G] understand Understand, understand
Boy inside the [C] man [G] Boy _ _ _ [C] inside the man

And [Em] I was [D] hit hard by [G] the light so bright I let it burn
And all at [D] once I knew she'd [G] understand Understand, understand
Boy inside the man _ _ _ _ Boy inside the [C] man
_ [G] _ _ _ Boy inside the man
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I said, so [G] long, so long, so long you've been away
[C]
So [G] long, so long, so long you
Boy [C] inside the man
