The Kid Inside chords by Barry Manilow

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G C A D G C A D

Verse 1:
G       C
There's a kid inside
A       D
And I have him with me always
G       C
There's a kid inside
A         D
Walking down old high school hallways
G        C
There's a kid inside
   A     A7      B7
At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers
G       G7
There's a kid inside
    Cadd9 C Cmaj7
To this very day

Verse 2:
G        C      Cadd9
And he makes a try for that high pop fly
A    A7    Dsus2  D
That I fumbled one September
G        C      Cadd9
And he makes a fuss over some A plus
A    A7    Dsus2  D
That I shouldn't still remember
G      C Cmaj7
And he goes along
A           A7       B7
Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over
G        G7
And unless I'm strong
      Cadd9 C Cmaj7 C
All my senses are carried away

Verse 3:
G        C      Cadd9
I could feel my hand – My trembling hand
A    A7    Dsus2  D
On Michell's angora sweater
G       C     Cadd9   A  A7     Dsus2    D
I can hear my band – That awful band, only now it sounds much better
G       C       Cadd9  A
I can see the kid, The kid I used to be
    A7      B7
On the stage, on the field, on the lunch line
G        G7
I can feel him tugging at me
    C   Cadd9     C(b9)
Every time I think I don't care I blink

Chorus:
G       D Dsus2   C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
And he's there again, he's there again
G                D    Dadd4    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
Fighting ancient wrongs, humming old hit songs in my head
    G       Dsus2 D    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
Singing come along, come along, come along for the ride
   G           D Dadd4    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
To a time and place I could not forget if I tried

Verse 4:
G      C      Cadd9    A
And I never know when the breeze'll blow
A7       Dsus2  D
With a rush of old sensation
G          C      Cadd9    A
Why the kid should wake, and my heart should ache
A7      Dsus2  D
Every time I smell carnations
G          C    Cadd9  A
Something rings the bell, anything at all
    A7     B7
All it takes is a slam of a locker
G         G7
Or the switch from summer to fall
 C     Cadd9    C(b9)
A change in season seems barely reason,

Chorus:
G       D    Dsus2  C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
But there he goes, he's there again
G                D    Dadd4    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
Fighting ancient wrongs, humming old hit songs in my head
    G       Dsus2 D    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
Singing come along, come along, come along for the ride
   G           D Dadd4    C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
To a time and place I could not for get if I tried

Outro:
G    D Dsus2   C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
There he goes again, hummin' his songs
G  D Dadd4 C Cadd9 C Cmaj7    G   Dsus2 D
He's there again,  there's a kid inside
Cadd9 C Cmaj7 C
Hummin' his songs
G   Dsus2 D Cadd9 C Cmaj7 C    G
He's there again,   there's a kid inside
