Lost Boy
Ruth B (2015)

Intro
| [Em↓] | [G↓] | [C↓] | [G↓] |

[Em↓] There was a time when [G↓] I was alone
[C↓] Nowhere to go and no [G↓] place to call home
[Em↓] My only friend was the [G↓] man in the moon
And [C↓] even sometimes he would [G↓] go away too

[Em↓] Then one night as I [G↓] closed my eyes
[C↓] I saw a shadow [G↓] flying high
[Em↓] He came to me with the [G↓] sweetest smile
[C↓] Told me he wanted to [G↓] talk for awhile, he said

[Em↓] Peter Pan [G↓] that is what they call me
[C↓] I promise that you'll [G↓] never be lonely
And [Am↓] ever [Am↓] since that [D↓] day [D↓]

Chorus
[Em] I am a lost boy [G] from Neverland
[C] Usually hanging out with [G] Peter Pan
[Em] And when we're bored we [G] play in the woods
[C] Always on the run from [G] Captain Hook
[Em] Run run [G] lost boy [C] they say to [G] me
A- [Em]way from [G] all of [C] reali- [G] ty

[Em↓] Neverland is home to [G↓] lost boys like me
And [C↓] lost boys like me are [G↓] free

He [Em↓] sprinkled me in pixie dust and [G↓] told me to believe
Be- [C↓] lieve in him and be- [G↓] lieve in me
To- [Em↓] gether we will fly away [G↓] in a cloud of green
[C↓] To your beautiful [G↓] destiny

As we [Em↓] soared above the town that [G↓] never loved me
I [C↓] realized I finally had a [G↓] family
[Em↓] Soon enough we reached [G↓] Neverland
[C↓] Peacefully my feet [G↓] hit the sand
And [Am↓] ever [Am↓] since that [D↓] day [D↓]

Chorus
[Em] I am a lost boy [G] from Neverland
[C] Usually hanging out with [G] Peter Pan
[Em] And when we're bored we [G] play in the woods
[C] Always on the run from [G] Captain Hook
[Em] Run run [G] lost boy [C] they say to [G] me
A- [Em] way from [G] all of [C] reali- [G]ty

[Em↓] Neverland is home to [G↓] lost boys like me
And [C↓] lost boys like me are [G↓] free
[Em↓] Neverland is home to [G↓] lost boys like me
And [C↓] lost boys like me are [G↓] free

[Em↓] Peter Pan, Tinkerbell [G↓] Wendy Darling
[C↓] Even Captain Hook you are my [G↓] perfect story book
[Em↓] Neverland I love you so [G↓] you are now my home sweet home
For- [C↓] ever a lost boy at [G↓] last
And for [Am↓] always I [Am↓] will [D↓] say [D↓]

Chorus
[Em] I am a lost boy [G] from Neverland
[C] Usually hanging out with [G] Peter Pan
[Em] And when we're bored we [G] play in the woods

[Em] Run run [G] lost boy [C] they say to [G] me
A- [Em] way from [G] all of [C] reali- [G] ty

[Em↓] Neverland is home to [G↓] lost boys like me

[Em↓] Neverland is home to [G↓] lost boys like me
