Am C F F x2

[ verse ]

Am C F
when i was a boy of seventeen

F
i know it’s mean , but i

Am C F
i told my friend to give up on her dreams

F
she hated me , but i

Am C F
i knew the dreams were for the best of us

F
and for the rest of us , and i

Am C F F
i didn’t wanna share with anyone

Am Aadd9 Asus

Am C F
i need a way to see my greatest dance

F
and make them laugh

Am C F
i could win the wars or lose the battles , too

F
whichever’s true

Am C F
i can live in other peoples’ lives

F Am
i can’t stop putting on other peoples’ clothes

C F F
i love them ’til i leave

[ chorus ]

C
i Am a marathon runner

G F
and my legs are sore

Em Dm
and i’m anxious to see what i’m running for

C
i Am a hot air ball0on

G
on a sailboat

F Em Dm
i would make this my home if i’d learned to float

Am Aadd9 Asus

Am C F
so take my treasures , take my earthly life ,

F
i’ll try to cry ,

Am C F
i will live without the things i love the best

F
so hold them to your chest

Am C F
i will lose my faces , lose my stolen wigs ,

F
the heads of kings

Am C F F
i will run until i know what to believe
