(Intro)
Am C F F x2
(Verse)
[Am]When I was a [C]boy of [F]seventeen
I [F]know it's mean, but I
[Am]I told my [C]friend to give up [F]on her dreams
She [F]hated me, but I
[Am]I knew the [C]dreams were for the [F]best of us
And for the [F]rest of us, and I
[Am]I didn't [C]wanna share with [F]anyone[F]
[Am] [Aadd9] [Asus]
[Am]I need a [C]way to see my [F]greatest dance
and [F]make them laugh
[Am]I could win the [C]wars or lose the [F]battles, too
[F]Whichever's true
[Am]I can live in [C]other peoples' [F]lives
I can't stop [F]putting on other peoples' [Am]clothes
I [C]love them 'til I [F]leave[F]
(Chorus)
[C]I am a marathon runner
[G]And my legs are [F]sore
And I'm anxious to [Em]see what I'm [Dm]running for
[C]I am a hot air ball0on
[G]On a sailboat
[F]I would make this my [Em]home if I'd [Dm]learned to float
[Am] [Aadd9] [Asus]
[Am]So take my [C]treasures, take my [F]earthly life,
[F]I'll try to cry,
[Am]I will live with[C]out the things I [F]love the best
So hold them [F]to your chest
[Am]I will lose my [C]faces, lose my [F]stolen wigs,
The [F]heads of kings
[Am]I will run un[C]til I know what [F]to believe[F]
(Bridge)
