G

There you are crying grown up tears

But they're coming from your childhood fears

C D G

I know you're only a kid at heart

G

In this world of compromise

Come over here and dry your eyes

C D Bm Em

Sometimes everything falls apart, I know

C D F

When you're only a kid at heart

C Em F

From a childhood memory (my heart)

C

To a place we'll never see

Dm D

Look what we've done

G

Once you were safe and warm

Now life's an endless storm

C D G

Always waking you in the dark

G

Now you're built of faith and fear

Trying to make it through the year

C D Bm Em

It's hard to figure out a place to start, I know

C D F

When you're only a kid at heart

C Em F

From a childhood memory (you know my heart)

C

To a place we'll never see

Dm D

Look what you've done

G

In the time it takes

B

Through each mistake

Em A7

See what you've become

C D Bm

I know you're only a kid at heart

Em

(I know you're only a kid at heart)

C D G

I know you're only a kid at heart

G C D

G

Started out as a bedtime story

Turned into a fight for glory

C D Bm Em

Sometimes it's hard to make your mark

C D G

When you're only a kid at heart

G

Hard to tell

B

Where the stories end

Em A7

And nighttime dreams begin

C D Bm

When you're only a kid at heart

Em

(I know you're only a kid at heart)

C D G

I know you're only a kid at heart
